We have thousands of years of data on the weather. Super predictable and super manageable.
We can watch weather live via satellite so we can accurately forecast solar and wind output days/weeks ahead and manage it accordingly.
We can easily manage renewable energy from the weather with the appropriate amount of generation and energy storage.
In the same way that fossil has spent a century building backup in the form of a national grid, multiple power station units, gas peakers, hydro systems etc, the renewable industry is being custom designed to suit the source and the demand.
Fossil needs a huge amount of backup because no fossil generator runs all the time. It's no different to renewable in that sense.
With renewables there are no dictators, cartels, greedy multinationals, corrupt politicians etc.
Right now, the RWNJs of hc are using solar power personally. They are displacing coal fired power with cheaper solar power while complaining about renewables.
That's not very hypocritical, is it ?
