Not specifically sure Spadlet, but I was thinking along the lines of for one example, the way we work. i.e. the way we schedule our work, our productive output to meet economic demands etc... For further example perhaps the way a factory schedules its manufacturing runs etc... so as to make use of renewable energy when its most abundant in supply.

I guess to some extent this might already be something that occurs with our existing energy supply. i.e. some factories might schedule their production runs to operate in times where electricity is cheaper, during off peak periods of demand etc... Anyway that's just one example I was thinking of.

Thus during periods where weather conditions for example do not best suit maximum renewable energy output, production might be scaled down and when renewable energy is abundant scaled up etc...

I think with Climate Change and adoption of renewable energy on a larger scale, we are going to have to adapt some things, in terms of the way we go about our daily lives.
