This is why wind and solar needs Fed subsidies. They can’t stand on their own. They produce the juice when you don’t need it and they’re not there when you need it.

And what they produce needs to be transported very long distances, resulting in huge power losses due to resistance.

Or are we talking about such huge amounts it would not be practical.
