OK. Lets make water instead then. Reverse osmosis is a very power hungry process. Problem solved.
This doesn't solve the fact that the utilities are forced to pay for power they don't need at a price that isn't justified.
If renewable power was only purchased when needed - or at its actual spot value - solar installations would not make economic sense.
It is only the subsidies and mandates that make solar viable.
Absent mandates and subsidies most solar installations would go away.
