    It is a technical problem of how can you convince electrical companies to overcome a problem they have no financial incentive to solve.

      that’s not a technical problem. that’s a weakness of the people’s resolve problem. we can, at any time, force them to do the right thing.

        I’m aware its not a technical problem, I was using the word ironically to point out the person I was responding to was wrong to say it…

        Also saying we can at any time fix a problem is just being ignorant of the many near impossible steps needed to fix the problem. In this case the problem is capitalism. We could come up with ways to end capitalism or make capitalism work in the interest of humanity, but will it realistically ever happen? No it wont, private money won, look at the topics discussed for presidential debate, never a mention of doing something about private capital owning Washington. Just super effective wedge issues.

          You’re being too broad. We don’t need to undo all of capitalism here. Nationalising the electric grid is a reasonable solution to this particular problem.
