  Though the graph they show is more promising, with wind having a complementary pattern to solar. If reliable, it would be great.

  You can still see a spike in gas around Feb 2025, when wind was weaker and there was still little irradiation.

  Ain’t solar (compared to wind) so-and-so idea in most of the EU? I mean, unless you are in southern Italy, southern Spain, or Greece, you you’ll need that gas to survive the winter.

  I mean - one thing ugly, and the other thing is that this land could be arable or a nature reserve.

  The hill in the photo looks ugly, tbh. Still, much better (and livelier) than the landscape after oilsands or brown coal extraction.

  Preferably, most grid-connected solar panels would be on buildings, deserts, and postindustrial land. But in the face of the climate catastrophe, the South China hills are also fine.

  I guess we should just do more offshore wind at home, in Europe ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  And support wind elsewhere. I know that in much of the world, solar is more feasible. But I am also sure there are places where access to electricity and pollution are problems at the same time, and where wind would be a better option.
