The main problem with a conventional AC grid into which you introduce intermittent power sources like solar (DC to AC) is very clearly explained in this lecture (link below). Solving this problem of maintaining the grid frequency inertia with solar/wind is a non-trivial matter and is extremely capital-intensive. https://watt-logic.com/2026/04/20/green-vs-baseload-the-most-suitable-energy-for-a-developing-country/

Regarding the grid problem, why is no one considering inverting the hierarchial grid architecture? The grids today are designed to distribute power from a central power station to numerous small scale consumers. It's not designed to handle distributed small scale power generators.

Hey team, is it possible for you to share what model you use for the hero images? I've noticed an uptick in quality, and would like to emulate for my Substack.

That's quite Informative. One suggestion I want to give - After completing both stories i think if there was a quick rapup of todays daily brief at the end. that will make reading more memorable and easy to make quick notes of todays daily brief.

I agree, but they actually provide a great wrap/summary on their dedicated WhatsApp channel. I tend to read that first and come here for the deep dive.
