    I don’t believe a decentralized grid is a good thing in most situations. In fact I think that’s extremely dangerous. So, we likely won’t find common ground there. I wont waste time trying to convince you otherwise.

    The crux of your point seems to be that renewables should be the majority (excluding nuclear) and fuel based systems (including nuclear) should be the minority. If we take nuclear out of the equation I agree with you. I’m not anti renewables, I’ve spent my career working in various forms of generation, including oil, gas and hydro. My stance is that they all have a place, even gas and oil but especially nuclear.

    Side note, the ethics of mining could be pointed at heavily for the current state of battery and solar pannel tech as well.
