There's absolutely a problem with how MIT Tech Review has phrased it. It could've been phrase like "modern power generation requires innovate solutions to the gride and large scale grid upgrades." But no they blamed it has a Solar problem, not a grid problem.
I see headlines all the time such as "The US highways need a 1 Trillion investment in the next decade". How come they aren't phrased like "The problem with trucks and cars is that they destroy roads, leading to Trillions of cost to the taxpayer". They've decided that transportation is non-negotiable and it's needed. But renewable electricity is not?
That's a fair point.
