Grids need to recognize that unreliable electricity is fundamentally different and far less valuable (sometimes it’s even a burden) than reliable electricity, and pay for unreliable electricity (or not) accordingly. — PolitiTweet.org

Stop pricing unreliable electricity with no cost penalty In every area of life we pay far more for a reliable service than for an unreliable one. But in electricity, unfair rules make utilities pay the same prices for unreliable solar/wind electricity as they do for reliables. — PolitiTweet.org

One way to stop vastly overpaying for unreliable electricity is: require all generators to meet certain reliability standards. Generators would still be able to use solar/wind *if* they took responsibility for combining it with reliables and/or storage to guarantee reliability. — PolitiTweet.org
