Or....green energy has faults that need discovered and rectified. And it takes these kinds of events to highlight those faults and drive folks to engineer solutions.

I don’t particularly like hydro dams, windmills, solar panels, ect... I fully expect they cause environmental damage to the same or greater extent as fossil fuels, just through different mechanisms. There is no free lunch.

But, fossil fuels are a finite resource and humans seem hell bent on exploiting different energy resources, so it seems inevitable that we will need to make those other energy resources more reliable.

No one is going back to fossil fuels. Not for the foreseeable future.
