Key Quotes:“When you think about the inertia of a power plant, think about a gas or oil based power plant, you've got about a 24-hour inertia on it. So, that means that you need to plan ahead 24 hours how much power will be consumed. A nuclear power plant is about a week and solar is about 10 seconds. If you've got a cloud your solar array shuts down. So we're definitely looking at a different type of management for the grid.”
