Grid

A number of energy experts in the US questioned Germany's push to replace nuclear with wind and solar before they discovered that the country as a whole does not have much wind or sunhine. They were questioned about their ability to plan long range. Now the US is finding itself in the same position. There are hundreds of completed wind and solar programs sitting idle while they wait to connect to the grid. There are not enough power lines and the grid is overloaded. Who would have thunk it. Did these experts not look ahead to see this problem. It should not have been a surprise because the availability of space to connect to the grid has not changed. It seems they did not only have a plan but didn't even recognize the problem. Some feel the rush to gobble up government subsidies clouded their judgement. The same thing that happened to electric cars. Too many cars and too few charging stations and even if they built the stations the grid could not supply the power.
