《“devilishly hard” to increase solar and wind power,》
Uncle Shane, you could go to China and make a deal for solar panels and batteries for a couple of million households or businesses, and distribute them at cost + 5%, (perhaps even underwriting loans to enable low income households to participate, but only if it doesn't stick in your craw to help bottom feeders).
The hydro system then becomes like a battery, held in reserve for peak periods.

Maybe while he is travelling the work he could google “solar farm” and “offshore wind” and learn some new things :)
The governments cost of borrowing money is less than the returns investors will expect. This is economic idiocy.
