This company is worth a bazillion dollars and has billions of users, yet popular newsletters display in font size 10,000. smh.

This analysis of the Spanish electricity outage a few days ago mentions that grids with a higher proportion of renewable energy are less robust, interesting side effect.

www.wired.com/story/what-c...
A text screenshot with the highlight: “De Simón Martín points out that, unlike thermal or hydroelectric power plants, wind and solar systems lack mechanical inertia, as they are connected to the grid not via synchronous generators but by electronic inverters. The robustness of the overall energy system therefore falls as the proportion of these inertia-lacking energy sources grows”

Given the current vibe here is ca. 2009 Twitter, i feel it’s justified to post my (home cooked) lunch here…
