  2. There's probably going to be a battery somewhere in there between the power source and your appliances to smooth out the supply, but I think it's still very much undecided whether that battery will be located in the neighborhood and owned and operated by the electricity company, or if it will be in your house and owned by you. There seem to be new technologies that could make both approaches possible. But yes, either way means the grid will have to be "smart" enough to manage all this variability. (Both seasonal variability and daily changes when homes are selling excess solar power back to it.)

  3. Thanks for this video! It's a fascinating discussion that probably required a lot of editing and production work. Thank you, it's much appreciated. Here in Canada I can see us addressing the time component with batteries, but the space component will be a whole lot harder. Our grids tend to be connected North-South with the Americans instead of West-East across the country, so the issue of interconnectors would have to be worked out separately with each American grid we connect to.
