Cry bullying and sulking about how people are mean when you're consistently condescending and insulting is not a good look. If you NEED 1MW, you don't try to provide it with a single 1MW array of solar. You supply it with 3MW of solar and 2MW of wind over a wide region.
Your 1st percentile weather event brings your peak power down to 1.5MW and the average over the week down to 500kW.
Your 500kW shortfall is filled with whatever combination of storage and dispatch you have, and is rare enough that planning to fill it with fossil fuel gas for the next century is a lower cost and lower total emissions strategy than spending an extra 15 years waiting for Uranium mines to open even if you pretend all the other dispatch options are impossible.
