Me when a driver is buggy: "computer's haunted"
Me when we take the crystalized thoughts of every dead person who has ever been recorded and compress them into a singular artifact we imbue with false life:
"It's just linear algebra"

And at least as important, the data that does exists supports the counter-hypothesis, in that there are an increasing number of examples in which renewables have stabilized the grid when fossil- or nuclear-fueled generation fails.

It is terribly problematic that this piece opens with: "The intermittent nature of variable renewable energy sources remains a primary challenge for grid integration and stability."
Because there is as yet no data to support this hypothesis, in the US or anywhere else.

Intermittent solar and wind complement each other for a more stable grid #energysky -- via pv magazine usa:
Intermittent solar and wind complement each other for a more stable grid
A study finds combining wind and solar leverages their alternating peak periods, significantly boosting total generation capacity while providing a constant, predictable power curve critical for grid integration.
