    So out of 50,000MW of wind and solar you think there won't be 5,000MW available in a worst case. So you have to be assuming it's night time, otherwise there would be plenty of solar.

    So with vastly more MW of wind, and much more diversified wind nationally you are assuming there won't be 20% of wind available.
    And you are assuming zero grid batteries. And zero residential batteries. And the article specifically indicated some batteries would be used to provide storage. So you just happened to ignore that.

    And with all those EVs you are worrying about, and assuming it's nighttime, that's a heck of a lot of EV battery capacity available to deliver power to the grid, sitting in garages at home.
    And if we are assuming we are supplying a lot of EVs then there will be more solar, wind and hydro etc to do that won't there.

    It works fine. As those two studies show.


    But you really, really, really don't want to believe this is possible, do you. Take of the blinkers, eh.
