Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

The wind blows, yet turbines lie still. It's a symptom of Australia's renewables glut
Mountains of clean power are regularly "wasted" as Australia's energy system evolves. But a large amount of battery storage is waiting in the wings, ready to soak it up.
