Traditional energy companies,
. . . maintain that more renewable energy sources like wind and solar,
. . . cause problems for the electrical grid.
That no longer has to be the case,
. . . according to an executive of Sempra Energy,
. . . the parent company of SDG&E.
Sempra Vice President Patrick Lee said,
. . . the technology exists today,
. . . for a total reliance on renewable energy.
“If you were to ask me 3 years ago,
. . . you know as a power engineer,
. . . can we actually achieve a high percentage of renewable,
. . . my answer was probably ‘no.’
I’d say, ‘we’re going to need some base load generation,'
But today, my answer is,
. . . the technology has been resolved.
How fast do you want to get 100%?
. . . That can be done today."
The decision about renewables is now,
. . . more about economics, than technology.
