There's always wind or sun somewhere in Europe, there has never been an hour without both across the entire continent in the last 30 years.

- Animats 2y ago> There's always wind or sun somewhere in Europe. Not necessarily enough wind to be useful. If you look at graphs of wind turbine output across entire large power grids, you see 4:1 variations in a day over the PJM and CAISO regions. That's irrelevant to this blackout, anyway. This blackout occurred during a period when supply far exceeded demand.
