It is, however, a challenge that is being made all the greater as we continue to decentralize power generation with more distributed, variable and inflexible sources, such as wind and solar. Increasingly, wind and solar are replacing fossil fuels as our principle source of energy. 100% wind and solar is not feasible on its own.
