    This is generally the right idea of a solution, but it’s a difficult engineering problem.

    It’s not “just an economics problem” despite the headline.

    The “cost of power becoming negative” is phrased in an economic way but what it really means is the grid has too much power and that power needs to go somewhere or it will damage infrastructure.
