Grid batteries are just starting to scale up.
These are cheaper than any other option by far, with the shortest payback period.
The people telling you that green energy "can't happen" are precisely the same group of people that will lose the capital they've invested in non-green energy technologies.
That's it. That's the reason you believe this.
You've been told over and over, by very loud and very well funded people to not even bother trying to replace legacy non-renewable energy sources with renewable energy sources. One hundred percent of the funding for this messaging comes from non-renewable energy companies, their shareholders, employees, and others with vested interests.
None of these people have your personal interests at heart.
Interest such as "having a livable planet" or having... you know... energy that won't run out in like a hundred years because... drumroll... they're literally advocating for energy sources that are NOT renewable. Finite. Expiring. Running dry.
