The rush to wind and solar power in the Netherlands has led to an overloaded network, causing homes to be asked to use less electricity. This highlights the growing pressure on power grids due to the expansion of renewable energy sources. Similarly, California's successful management of energy demand during summer was attributed to the widespread implementation of batteries that pair with clean solar and wind energy, signifying a major breakthrough for the state's electrical grids. The integration of batteries has alleviated stress on the grid, underlining the crucial role of energy storage in supporting renewable energy transitions. Additionally, California's legal action against the Trump administration over the cancellation of the 'Solar for All' program emphasizes the significance of increasing solar accessibility, particularly for low-income households
