Hmm.. How did Scotland solve storage?
From what I can read in the BBC article (1) there's still lots of work to do:
- cars still run on fossil fuels
- heating accounts for 15% of emissions and uses gas
- industries use fossil fuels to make materials
If that were all to become electric, would renewables be enough?

- macspoofing 6y agoThey didn't solve storage. They produce a lot of wind power at certain times that they can't use and that's where the 90% comes from. The actual consumption of renewables is on the order of 40%-50%. Not nothing, but not 90% ... not even close.
