But too much power on the grid isn’t “here, have at it”. It’s fried devices and spontaneous fires breaking out. The grid can’t “hold the power”, only pumped and battery storage can, of which we have nowhere near enough. The grid literally cannot work if other producers put more electricity on to it.

If you have smart meter, you can literally be paid to use power at that point.

that's how we've been doing it for the past 2 centuries, it'll be how we continue to do it for the next 2 centuries.
