US adds 10 GW large-scale #wind, #solar capacity in 2018, but also unfortunately 20 GW #naturalgas
Additions minus retirements of #WWS (#WindWaterSolar) expected to be 3x gas by 2022

.@jsalsman Any existing published data on "expected nighttime draw from heat pumps," that I know about, does not take into account the fact that many people, including me, are working very hard to ensure that such draw increases dramatically in the future.

Yeah, but that isn't an argument against trying to use the whole nighttime wind surplus for storage, which uses off-the-shelf parts, or sequestration from seawater carbonate, which together with storage and heat pumps doesn't even come close to nighttime wind surplus for a decade

@mzjacobson ^ I hope I am as wrong about that as everyone else is about 2050 by the end of next month
