Isn't the problem of "currently calm and cloudy everywhere" far more likely for tiny state? Plus, being tiny makes it far easier for the lines on the map to randomly exclude fossil fuel power plants - even though you're conveniently connected to a large electrical grid, which still has plenty of those.
- trenchpilgrim 1y ago"currently calm" is not really a problem you have when you are next to the ocean.
- viraptor 1y agoThis is an offshore farm. The wind on those of way more consistent and much faster than inland. You get some seasonal variations, but no quiet days really. This is from a very different area, but you can see there's close to no 0 level downtime. https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S2950360424000020-gr8.jpg https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S29503604240000...
