I might get some angry emails, but gratified to see discussion of the duck curve on A1 of the Washington Post!

The front page of the Washington Post, with a headline that reads "California is swamped by solar"

I got angry about the online headline, which I know you didn't write. The print headline is better!

Good piece. Now do a story about how the utility energy storage boom happening over the next few years is soon to make this a non-issue. Please also talk more about solutions like intermittent loads that can take advantage of midday energy surplus, time of use, etc. Thanks!

Good piece & congrats re the buzz (approaching 4000 comments ... clicks must be high). Follow-up/: How to address Duck Curve? - Incentivize west facing solar install - True TOD pricing, allowing profiteering off storage selling into grid at high prices. - Boosted storage (pumped hydro?) - ???

I’ve heard that when power prices go down, they shut gas plants off, wasting their capacity!
