Problem here is that the engineers are saying "this problem is hard for these reasons" and people like you are screaming that you don't care, fix it. And when they say it'll take X years, your scream that it isn't good enough. Or that the goal posts are moving (problems are complex and involve more than one thing). There standard you're setting is unreasonable.
Calm down (helpful I know). Stop yelling at people when they are trying to work the problem. It isn't going to get done the way you like but it can get done if you stop asking for impossible.
Really? I'm an electrical engineer and your understanding of the problem indicates you aren't an engineer or you suck at your job (or did you not just positively assert production capacity and storage are minor problems?). Any decent engineer wouldn't call out moving goal posts on a complex problem. Public awareness of difficulties is a way to get support for decidedly unsexy problems (nothing gets people hard like utilities). And layman screaming about shit they don't understand is also a problem.
And that comparison is worthless. Fucking everything is minor compared to the destruction of the planet, but that doesn't help. It's dismissive of real issues and only makes things harder.
Thus I hold that you suck at your job if you aren't lying on the Internet. I also note that you neglected my other points.
