Energy generation is part of the problem. Storage is another part. All renewable energy sources are not consistent.

There are peaks and troughs in generation. I have seen solar companies cutting of panel areas from grids given the lack of demand during that hour. Storage at grid and home level has the potential to disrupt the dynamic of the energy market.

Today, a select few companies control vast amount of energy supply this control needs to be broken for better future.

Yes, Energy should not be monopolized.
