Working for one of the largest energy grid providers in Europe, I can tell you: This is the future we‘re currently building. We already have many areas with a huge energy surplus completely generated by renewables.

There is no one here that doubts the renewable future and we‘re quite sure we can finish building the necessary grid until the end of the decade (with around 6 times the capacity of the current European grid).

That is very encouraging to hear! In the US we have a few forward thinking utilities, thou go perhaps not as forward thinking as imagining a 6x capacity grid. But it seems that most are stuck focusing on the disadvantages of change as opposed to the immense opportunity this transition provides.
