It can't be said often enough, so I'll say it again:

Solar and batteries can power the world! It's cheaper than gas (esp. at today's prices) and a lot more reliable.

By 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the world's population for < €80/MWh (including backup).

#Decarbonization of the #grid has 3x legs (#Solar, #Wind & #Ocean) and and a pole in the middle (#BESS - #batteries). All must be exploited in balance to achieve the goals of 1/ #EnergyIndependence from #FossilFuels, and 2/ #EnergyResilience from the #grid. @chrisnelder
