    Just to illustrate the duck curve here is a "fairies at the bottom of the garden "video from the US Department of Energy.
    They don't discuss how energy use can be curtailed at night except by pricing poor people out of the market.
    They do not discuss the price of storage.
    All glip crap to me.

    Over and under supply occur with coal as well? One of the cool part for retail is a constant Over priced amount we pay.

    Many of us use off Peak for hot water and some of us use electric pre heating or pre cooling.

    Storage of significant excess is not yet here. A few places it is being installed OS right now to use cheap power times even in places with power shortages at other times. Not suggesting BIG lithum are much more than a match stick size and will never be grid scale at a scale we require.

    Spare or dedicated Wind, Solar and Nuclear to hydrogen/ammonia or desalination when excess power is available are all on the cards I think.

    The Ammonia / nitrogen side is critical to food security I think myself.
