> It's been obvious for a long time that a fully renewable grid can work

It’s far from obvious to me.

There are literally no exemple of one ever running and some of the technological challenges are still open questions at the moment.

I generally think proponents of renewables are overselling the idea and significantly minimising the challenges they pose at scale. They definitely have a place in the energy mix but I don’t personally believe they are the solution.

Mostly renewable has already been achieved, 100% renewable is on track and economically feasible.

   In December 2021, South Australia set a new record for renewable energy generation and resilience, after running entirely on renewable energy for 6.5 consecutive days.

  In 2022, it was stated that South Australia could soon be powered by only renewable energy.

  70 per cent of South Australia's electricity is generated from renewable sources.

  This is projected to be 85 per cent by 2026, with a target of 100 per cent by 2027.
