    I will say that the advances China has made in Fusion technology will basically put the power of the sun in our hands, but I also think solar panels are cool and work well

    Need a mixed approach here

      I think the final form of the grid is something like wind/solar primary generation with nuclear backup and hydro in areas where you need the dam anyway for flood control, and a lot of extra energy being generated to run carbon capture that pumps co2 back underground, but it’ll be a long time before any electrical grid on earth looks anything like that.
