Episode 79: The Intermittency Argument Is Falling Apart
For years, critics of renewable energy have relied on one core argument:
“What happens when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing?”
In this episode, Russ breaks down why that argument is rapidly becoming outdated.
Battery costs have collapsed nearly 90% over the last decade, utility-scale storage deployment is accelerating across the U.S., and clean energy paired with storage is now competing directly with traditional fossil fuel generation on cost.
Russ explains:
This isn’t theory anymore.
It’s already happening.
Sources discussed include BloombergNEF, Lazard, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
