I’ll note that right now, this is a seasonal issue, associated with moderate springtime temperatures when there is a lot of sunshine available.

    “california is having this problem because solar grew faster than we expected but we are building storage systems to hold power for later.”

    commenters who didn’t read the article:

    “this is so stupid why don’t they just build storage systems to hold power for later 😡😡😡”

      You know it may speak poorly on the commentors, but you have to some faith in humanity restored when the common sense solution is what is already in the works, right?

        absolutely a fair point.

        my only fear is that maybe ppl may come away from this post with some kind of disdain for california, like they are “doing it wrong” or something just because they are encountering growing pains. unsure how big of a problem that is so i’m not going too hard on commenters.

        just wish more people read stuff before chucking their opinions in the ring.
