Those who keep complaining that wind turbines do not work when the winds are not blowing, just realized that oil does not work when the Hormuz Strait is not open.

@randahl To be fair, wind turbines doesn't work when the winds are blowing too hard either.

They need "goldilocks-winds" 🙂

@martenbjorklund @randahl not really. They need anything from a light wind to just below hurricane. And when the wind isn't blowing, there's often sun, and when there's neither, grid-scale batteries are viable and cheap nowadays. (And that's not to include the parts of the world where thermal or hydroelectric or hydro storage or tidal generation is possible.)
