Figuring out how much extra capacity is needed still needs to be done.

Simply stating that no new peaker plants are needed "because storage capacity will be there" is a bit too simplistic.

I'd be glad if that's the case, but I'm not convinced it's actually true.

right we have 7 years to figure this out for 80% renewables and 17 years to figure it out for close to 100%

it took 1 year to build and start operation of giga Shanghai, and not much longer for giga Berlin.

it's a political challenge, not a technical one.
