Reply to comment by RonPMexico in The US's largest ever combined wind+solar/battery electricity plant has opened in Oregon with a generating/storage capacity of 350MW/120MWh by lughnasadh

It's getting there fast and it is capable of doing all that fossil fuels can do - grid wise. Remember fossil fuels has a 140 year head start, my friend.

Really? I wait with bated breath. The plant in this post clearly can't do what a gas turbine plant can.

I don't know why someone downvoted you, because you're not wrong. This plant can't - yet. Things are progressing quickly and large capital interests are really just now turning to alt-fuel technologies for investments. This is a new thing and a turning point - even with this new investment, policy and regulation roadblocks continue to be erected by fossil fuel financial interests although they are beginning to wane slightly.
