I'm a little torn on the subject. I think there is definitely a place for solar power. On the residential level. My entire house is solar. No power lines run to my house. They charge lithium batteries and it is our main source of power. It's great. Unless you get bad weather for more than a few days. Then we run the generator to charge the batteries. That being said, I would never get rid of the generator side of the equation. Now apply that to a much larger scale that is our power grid. Why in the hell would you remove or shut down your systems that aren't affected by adverse weather?
