I wonder how long it takes to bundle renawables only with batteries and sell that without subsidising fossil based electric energy.
May the fossil burners go bankrupt rather sooner than later as it's a more reliable way to get them out of the mix than regulation is.

Significantly less efficient than a green grid. Roof solar isn't going to practically compete with industrial scale solar or wind, much less state subsidized gas.

The demand for energy is only increasing. I don't think anyone is going to go bankrupt selling electricity into this market.
