Solar power has begun to transform the world’s energy system

The piece doesn't mention the recent blackout in Spain. Wasn't it caused by the lack of energy sources with rotational inertia?

It was a design/dimensioning error, something was expected to absorb reactive power and it added it instead.

The reporting so far is that they did not manage the reactive power correct leading to a voltage trip.

But the fossil and nuclear lobbies were straight on blaming renewables when it happened. They are desperate for any handouts they can get their hands on before a select few are preserved as museum pieces.

No, that was some of the initial speculation, but turned out to be wrong.
