The issue with power grids stems when providing multiple functions. We’ve got the generation, we’ve got the short term storage, we now need long duration storage so that we can displace more and more natural gas, which is taking up this peaking function.

Maybe it’s going to be natural gas with CCS, maybe it’s going to be geothermal, whether conventional or unconventional (in the form of EGS or AGS). We have a huge amount of utility-scale and rooftop solar all over the state, and that has destabilized our power grid. But where is all that electricity going to come from?
