Net zero. But not effectively zero. They sell energy during the day when no one needs it and buy it an night when we all need it. If we all switched to solar and heat pumps there would be blackouts and an energy crisis

What? They store the surplus in their batteries during the day and use it at night.

I genuinely do not understand why people are so afraid of solar. It's baffling.
