The linked article doesn't substantiate "without heading for weeks" either, where are you getting that frmo?

Yeah, you're just making that up. Wind shortfalls are weather events. Weather events last days, not "weeks or months". And needless to say, no one anywhere except in your head is imagining a wind-only power grid.

The hypothetical world you are putting forward where we get most of our generation from renewables with wind being a key factor. > Weather events last days Maybe if you live under a rock. > And needless to say, no one anywhere except in your head is imagining a wind-only power grid. Plenty of people are imagining power grids which heavily rely on renewables with only short term power storage capacity to smooth out problems and almost no natural gas/nuclear based power generation capacity.
