    Funny boy.

    Do you think a company invests heavily into infrastructure to undermine its core business (selling power)?

    Tell me tell you from Germany: No. For last 20 years. No

      They do invest (reluctantly) when grid stability becomes compromised. That’s the point where regulators and politicians start taking a strong interest. That’s why they bitch and moan about anything that can upset the balance in the grid.

      Unfortunately, the upgrades can take time, so we not only need to bully them into them, but also give them time to actually do them. Fuck knows how we pull that off however, so we might as well go full steam for solar!
