      Don’t worry just wait until, checks notes, the sun goes to bed at night. What then France? How will your solar work in clouds? Check and mate.

        We concentrated so much on solar energy we completely forgot moon energy, and now, we must pay for that oversight.

      Super good news.

      Maybe… It’s good that peak production is so high, but there isn’t enough storage to take real advantage of it yet. And even if you’re not paying for power generation you still need to maintain power infrastructure. Maintenance isn’t free.
