Clearly not. The point is that grid scale deployment is not easy. It's an important discussion to do it right. The criticism is genuinely stupid and just spotlights people who clearly don't understand how any of this stuff works or what the article is even talking about. You can't just slap solar panels everywhere and call it a day.

Grid scale redundancies are important. Managing load is important. Energy storage is important. Scaling up renewables and scaling down conventional generation is important. Ensuring those who cannot afford their own BTM generation can access affordable electricity is important. That's entirely what this conversation is about.
