When I so pressingly urge a strict observance of all the laws, let me not be understood as saying there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise, for the redress of which, no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing.

In somewhat the same way, thoughts, ideas and words are "coins" for real things.
-- Alan Watts

Mostly renewable power generally needs less backup than utilities already bought to combat big coal and nuclear plants' intermittence.
