New player on the way
Some places in the world are ahead of others. In many areas. E.g. in energy transition. California - one of the highest intellectual capital concentrations in the world - is definitely one of them.

Of course sun not shines at night. And here batteries are coming to help. In California batteries already became significant player in the grid:
This trend will become only stronger and stronger.
