Solar/wind fantasy requires power to be transported big distances, instead of produced by local plants.
Exactly, that is the worst part, the corruption of the idea. Solar and wind were thought of as DECENTRALIZED means of generation (on the monicker of "distributed generation") which would REDUCE THE NEED FOR LONG-DISTANCE TRANSMISSION and not increase it (people would generate at their homes where they consume it). They stupidly took solar and wind for what it was not meant to be and made it a business-large, industrialized and concentrated thing. Well guess what if you want to go big then location starts to matter and transmission gets worse.
