Also fair enough!

It really is a good point you make though. There’s a large balancing act to produce the right amount of power at exactly the time it’s needed. I think in our daily lives, and especially for non-tech/STEM folks, electricity is just taken for granted as always available and unlimited on an individual scale. I think people don’t envision giant spinning turbines when they plug something in, just like they don’t think of racks of computers in a data center when they open Amazon or Facebook.

Maybe it will be less like that in a couple decades when there is distributed energy storage all over the grid, including individual homes & vehicles.

I mean I envision the data centers. I also envision the turbines. Am I doing it right?
