The Netherlands and Greece were the top solar record setters, while wind power also hit new highs in May and June.

    i mean, italy has not produced enough power to meet domestic demands since the 80s. they’re the biggest electricity importer in europe. i don’t know if the rest of the continent can handle them switching off of gas.

        yeah, intermittent power that recently led to grid collapse in spain. it’s not about how much power you make, it’s about how to distribute it efficiently.

          US disinformation pigfuckers claimed it was due to intermittent power. No such conclusions were ever made, and there is no physical/tech challenge/impossibility to not have a stable grid with intermittent power.

            the reason stated in the report was that base load failed to correct. it was a novel failure case, but very much related to a grid with intermittent power tacked on.

            of course there is no technical reason it wouldn’t work, but we are in the real world, where technical solutions are not implemented in a vacuum. the grid is yet to be completely retooled for intermittent wave-following sources, and accidents like this are how we figure out what not to do.

            also “us disinformation pigfuckers”? really? the us has a vendetta against spain now?
