This Dutch solar boom has led to negative electricity prices during most sunny summer days. The grid can't cope and it's nearly impossible to get a new grid connection in most parts of the country.

what you could call a failure of humanity is that the capacity do do such things (which benefit us all) is so unequally distributed between continents. But thats essentially criticism of wealth disparity, which is its own thing. The solar gap is merely a consequence.

The societal structure of fossil fuel lobbying and disinformation is a failure of humanity.

Thankfully it looks like African nations are expanding solar and battery installations at such a fast pace that Africa will have better electricity than anywhere in Europe by 2029.
