Comments - China is quietly saving the world from climate change

Yes you said solar is uselss w/o batteries for lighting — an idiotic statement. Like saying solar is useless for lighting without lamps. Batteries of the most basic kind are and have been easily available for that purpose for decades.

It’s a purely nonsense observation. A form of sophistry in objection from someone whos quite evidently Politically Anti.

Now I am no particular fan of the mini-grid and rural electrification hobby horses of the development people, although pricing may start to work, but it’s not the sole thing.

As for industrial, as my own comment above indicated, real investment is going into self-generation within contexts where grid is there but is and always has been unreliable.

Of course in such areas one CAN run industrial off of solar sans batteries, in grid supplement to reduce reliance / risk (as well as cost) on the already unreliable grids subject to load-shedding and brown-outs. Grid unreliaibility that’s ongoing for decades. Batteries at current pricing along with panels at current pricing on is seeing displacement of back-up gen and as diminuation of grid reliance (as like Pakistan).

Your fallacious black-white statements are at best gross logical errors.
