“Limitless” in that context means “it still happens in a cloudy week with no wind”


That is what storage and long distance transmission are for. It’s very hard to take these tired arguments seriously.


With our current rate of storage and spending, storage would last hours at most.

Long distance transmission on the scale where we would not get short of power is a project as big, if not bigger, than nuclear reactors.


Both of these are not feasible solutions for industrial economies.
