Oh wait, they already did: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/06/18/renewable-energy-to-blame-for-spains-blackouts/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/06/18/renewable-en...
Ed: Do I need a /s tag here or something? My point was that we shouldn't worry too much about about the presentation of the report, its actual contents will be spun to suit any narrative regardless.
- baq 1y agoFlame bait journalism is one of the things you can count on in any circumstance. If you replace that ‘renewables = bad’ with ‘politicians = idiots’ OTOH… sometimes the elected representatives should listen to unelected physicists and engineers. Grid stuff is one of those things.
- kgwgk 1y agoThat doesn’t really say “renewables bad”. The report actually says that there was a drop in solar generation.
