      And last year was an anomaly as well? Next year, the French nuclear plants will be repaired and their rivers will carry sufficient amounts of water again?

      I mean, isn’t that the core of the intermitancy argument for fossil fuels? Consumers wouldn’t be willing to accept a 100% renewable grid which only met demand 95% of the time.

        if you give up on solving that issue with anything other than fossil fuels, yes

        Perfect is the enemy of good. I’d rather have a 95% renewable grid than not even try. We can at the very least minimize fossil fuel use. It’s kinda silly to be doubling down on it in this day and age.

        100% renewable requires opportunistic consumption, which is hard to do without eating people.

        Most of internet infrastructure is base load. It has to work 100% of time.
