If the early development of power generation and distribution started with wind and/or solar as its sole means of power generation, the idea of electrifying the nation would have been merely a fanciful and novel thought. The variable nature of these generation sources are just to volatile for practical large-scale use. The limitations and lack of sunlight at night and the wind being a transient thing would have made a grid not only impractical but too costly for the supposed benefit. Electric power service would have died as an industry at the get go. Solar and wind are just the wrong methods of power generation and we cannot have a grid without coal, gas, oil and hydropower as the core of the system. Eco-tards need to understand this.
These should be systems to supplement a robust grid. Not the sole system. With our current methods/tech/etc it makes no sense and probably won't for a very, very, long time.
If we didn't import so many fucking retards we could probably have at-home reactors that last 50 years and power your whole house safely without a grid connection at all. (I know, that is a very simple version of what I intend to say, I am tired).
