It’s my understanding that at its best it provides roughly 60% of the power needed?
Then add to that hot windless days,like you said, and it’s even less.
NO ONE with an IQ much greater than dirt would depend on wind o solar to provide baseload. IN the old days, baseload was met with reliable power and if I remember correctly, about 130% of the expected load had to be available. So when the biggest generator tripped (usually a nuclear unit), the grid stayed up and stable.
So once we get rid of these leftist DimWIT loons, we can get real power generation back and they can load follow the undependable solar and wind. It's stupid and criminal to count wind and solar as dependable.
As we found out in Texas a couple of winters ago, people will die when stupid people are in charge..
