"A whole power plant in Lithuania is currently being dismantled and sent in parts to Ukraine," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Whereas solar and batteries could provide more power faster and for less money were they not still stuck in the old paradigm.

@GreenFire @noelreports An outdated and damaged power grid might be an obstacle for distributed power production. Panels would produce power, but the grid could only accept a limited amount of that power. Some countries are facing similar problems right now with transition to renewables, where outdated grid is the main blocker for quick adoption.

The obstacle you're throwing up in order to help delay climate action has been surmounted via advances in battery technology and manufacturing.

@GreenFire @noelreports Batteries are a valid solution, but without suitable grid, they only help power the place that uses them.

The obstacle of outdated grid can be overcome by simply modernizing it. The problem is of course time, money and political will, as always. In case of Ukraine, ongoing war and grid damage is also a problem.
