      The problem is that electricity will be free intermittently. This means it’s going to require finding ways to use it that are not capital-intensive.

    There are plenty of things we could do with excess power. Green hydrogen production and electrochemical carbon fixation spring to mind.

      For sure. The challenge is that there’s a cost of capital, and intermittently available excess power is difficult to use cost-effectively with anything like current technology.
