    Or, you could use renewables that produce power when it’s dark, cold, windy, and raining.

    Solar has it’s uses, but you need a balance of energy sources, coupled with the huge amount of stored energy we have in our hydro dams.

      We have that. Plenty hydro and we have some geothermal. Plus add in wind and bio. But solar can fulfill all needs. Don’t actually need anymore. If most houses businesses and anywhere with roof space. We’d have more than we need.

      Then it’s storage and grid upgrades. Pumped storage would be a good bet.
