This system will run heat pumps and cars. It will be so busy, critical and central that the old argument that it would not be used is nonsense and out of date. It is a question of how we cope with the needs and demands of the system. This is the skill. This is the industrial revolution in front of us, with regard to EirGrid and the ESB. We are good at it and it should not stop us using solar energy.
