Dont let perfect be the enemy of good.

This HN thread might interest you [1] "A near 100% renewables grid is well within reach, and with little storage"

From one of the comments:

>That's what is different about this new study. It uses real time supply/demand figures instead of annualized averages. It meets 98.8% of demand with renewables and fills in with fossil power the rest of the time.

I was not saying we have to be all on renewable perfectly. We are too far from even reaching a reasonable level. Power generation at night is dominated by coal plants.

The linked article is interesting, and it kinda confirms what I was wondering that it is probably wind farms that we need way more, not solar.

The top comment there:

> "in Australia" is an important qualification here. Australia has a very high ratio of available solar and wind energy to population.

"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." doesn't mean not to think it through. Show me the math.
