There are some renewables that are almost 100% reliable. One is geothermal power. Another might be offshore wind turbines. Quote: from description in YouTube video << Offshore wind farms solve one of renewable energy’s biggest problems: unreliability. With wind almost always blowing on sea, there is no lack of power. >> https://youtu.be/IsUBq3BM8rU

The narrator goes to the offshore wind turbine to show us a 6.2 MW wind turbine. The key takeaway is that these offshore wind turbines solve the wind turbine intermittency problem because it’s windy as hell out there 24 hours, 365 days a year. He said the transmission line to southern Germany was supposed to

It says “…120 Megawatt solar center on 660 contagious acres.” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think they meant contiguous!! https://thisisreno.com/2021/09/660-acre-solar-facility-planned-near-flanigan/
Article is about other issues, too, but it says First Solar is doing good. https://cleantechnica.com/2021/09/10/40-year-slog-through-solar-panel-wilderness-ends-in-vindication-for-the-robots/
In this article the author assesses the statuses of wind, solar and nuclear in China. https://cleantechnica.com/2021/09/05/a-decade-of-wind-solar-nuclear-in-china-shows-clear-scalability-winners/
In a solar farm, once barren land has turned green and grassy under the solar panels. Quote: << Every morning, herder Xiang Zhankui takes more than 2,000 sheep to the green industrial development park in the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture for grazing. “In the past, the barren land did not have grass at all. Now,
