      If the technical limitation is “it drives down prices” then it is about capitalism, yes.

      How do you even manage to not get that?

        That isn’t the limitation though, it’s the consequence. The phrasing of the tweet is extremely memable, but thinking about it for 5 seconds should make you realize that negative prices mean they REALLY need to get rid of it. Because having too much energy in the grid is a problem.
