But isn't the point that if you want to electrify more industry while eliminating thermal power generation then you will need massive energy storage to cover the gaps in real time energy supply from renewables..? If you rush and do what you are saying without finding an efficient way to store a surplus of energy then you will have blackouts come winter.

But this is only a problem while the economy is still in transition[1], once the transition has completed this will not be a problem.

Transition to what exactly? The link in your comment doesn't seem relevant.

To a carbon negative anti-racist economy that values LBGTIQ+ lives and the rights of birthing people.

I want to live in a positive society. "Anti-racist" "Carbon-negative" are both unattractive to me.

Without racism should be a property, not an identity. (I would go further: without bigotry). Ditto carbon.

Valuing lives is important. New ones. Black ones. Old ones. Gay ones. Etcetera. (All lives [will] matter [when ** lives matter])....

Are you joking?

Trolling, it appears; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32046022

That is not trolling. It is having and expressing an opinion.

Poe's Law can make it hard to tell, but to me it looks like someone satirizing the extremes of anti-capitalist ideology. Surely there is someone somewhere who agrees that some LGTBTQI+ issue constitutes a real argument against grid-scale energy storage, but if they were the person who is commenting here, probably they would have tried to explain what the relationship is instead of just appending keyword salad.

What do you think now that you see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32048756? Note that the paper they linked, which seems to be in earnest, doesn't mention trans rights.

Now they have been banned for trolling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32049186
