... except to the extent any renewable project is with natural gas being handed the "transition fuel" handle, which is hard to avoid.

The storage part of the Morro Bay project is what I love the most. I'm just a few miles from Moss Landing's BESS, the largest grid-scale battery in North America, IIRC, and it makes greater use of renewables possible, eating away and any excuses to stay any longer with natural gas than necessary.
