MODERATORS
We are headed for a more extreme climate thats on average a few degrees warmer. While the heating period may get shorter, the peak load due to heating in extreme winters will increase. Thats the exact opposite of what you want in an all renewable grid.
Winters will be warmer on average, meaning less heating needed. Unless the gulf stream collapsed, which would change everything in Europe
