    My government’s arguments against solar: we need to build a billion dollar storage facility for natural gas because hydo doesn’t work in dry years and solar is too unreliable.

    Me: you’re saying we need gas because solar is unreliable

    Me: and hydro has dry years

    Government: yes, sometimes it’s just sunny all the time so there’s no rain for the hydo lakes

    Me: 🤦
