> Solar and batteries may be amazing but global supply chains can be disrupted.

Solar and batteries aren't consumables, so they're not particularly vulnerable to supply chain disruption. If we lose our supply of batteries, we'll have ~10 years or so to find an alternate supply. We won't be able to do new installations during the disruption, but existing installations don't stop working.

Unlike a fossil plant when the supply of fuel is disrupted.
