The article correctly identifies that while renewable electricity is becoming cost-competitive with fossil fuels, the constraint isn't generation—it's grid infrastructure, interconnection queues, and industrial thermal applications that resist electrification. The gap between energy abundance and distribution or application bottlenecks means electrification timelines will be set by copper and concrete, not kilowatt-hours. This determines where investment and regulation must focus.
