alt Hacker NewsI feel like Washington state doesn’t get enough credit. 72%+ from renewables and water reservoirs are the original grid scale battery.

Washington is actively tearing down dams for salmon runs.
All their hydro was built 60 years ago, by the federal government. The state deserves absolutely no credit.
That’s because hydro does not deserve credit: if you can do hydro you already do because it’s cheap and reliable, and if you can’t do hydro that’s it. It is thus of next to no interest. Same with geothermal heating.
