In the US electricity means thermal plants will be involved.
Only about 30% of the power on the power grid can come from wind and solar.
Everything else has to be base load which is hydro electric or a thermal plant, coal, gas, nuclear.
Or a peaker plant which has to be gas fired or hydro.
In the US we can't build any more hydro electric plants and use able geothermal sources are mostly all tapped already.
