That observation isn't (politically) right leaning, at least not in the American context.

Grid balancing storage is already being built out and operated in left leaning California, and already contributes significantly to supply during the evening demand ramp.

Agreed, I made my comment based on the notion that there's a 'left-leaning-smell' to renewables (at least in TX), so a 'right-leaning' answer that maybe pulls (it/them/?) toward the centre would make sense.
