>In contrast, solar and wind are not baseload power solutions. They are intermittent and unreliable, fundamentally weather dependent. If you have battery backup sufficient for time T and the weather doesn't cooperate for time T+1, your data center is offline.
ok so weather is predictable and highly accurate for at least 3 days in advance.
You are still able to buy energy from markets.
You can still load battery storage in case of bad weather forecasts.
I don't know what the problem is here? Why do you paint a scenario where data centers magically are now off the grid and have to be on 100% reliable energy sources?
