@ClickyMcTicker @IcyPalm @notjustbikes Honestly, I think all of these are valid concerns.
I think it's curious that people yapping about renewables' success always talk about the Netherlands, or California, or Texas, or Australia. No one wants to renewable-ify somewhere in Siberia where you have little to no sunny days and very little coastal winds.

@arina @ClickyMcTicker @IcyPalm @notjustbikes FWIW solar panels do generate electricity on cloudy days, albeit less than on days with a clear sky. If clouds blocked 100% of sunlight you wouldn’t be able to see anything when it was cloudy out

@arina @ClickyMcTicker @IcyPalm @notjustbikes Let's put a pin in that and come back to it when Siberia is the last place that hasn't been renewableified. We'll run a transmission line up there. Actually, you know what, we could do that RIGHT NOW.
