Wind just doesn't drop that much at night. With Wind there is actually too much energy at night... this is already happening in Europe, we know the numbers from the grid, this is not speculation.Solar and wind do not produce at night and that is insignificant? That is when homes need the most electricity.
Wind and Solar do provide commercial... Actually it is so popular that server farms in europe buy wind farms (to offset there use)... You must have a very local ised view of how wind is produced... It is produced and usually put into the grid, can you please tell me how commercial businesses only use the fossil produced energy?Yes, commercial business is mostly shutdown but wind and solar do not supply commercial or industry.
That is why we use power grids... We various ways of balance output... Denmark hasn't had a major outage in power and they are 55% electricity produced by wind.Industry, much industry requires 24/7 power. There are many processes that can not be interrupted. The idea that electricity usage at night is insignificant is simply a flippant opinion stated off the top of cowboy's head.
Further, with electric car charging, heating, and air conditioning homes, we very much need a significant amount of power at night.
Again, actual evidence in Europe shows that there is a surplus of power from wind at night... Are you saying that they magically invented power they don't want?
