Electrical grids are capital intensive anyway, one of solar and winds big advantages is how non-capital intensive it is compared with the competition, that&#x27;s why it&#x27;s making up such a large share of newly built generation capacity across the globe.<p>As you say in places where demand isn&#x27;t growing quickly, it&#x27;s more about shutting down and replacing existing plants, and that&#x27;s where it can get political, see the &quot;war on coal&quot; in the US. But even there, it&#x27;s an economic no-brainer to shut the coal plants that are killing people and replace them with gas and renewable, the only thing stopping it from happening is politics, not anything inherent in renewable tech.
