Generally, great stuff, keep ongoing.
Still, the map of the "Industrial Workers of the World" makes me go XD
What do you mean by "The System is (Not) Totalizing"?
They could link to the original report. I guess they mean this one:

Though the graph they show is more promising, with wind having a complementary pattern to solar. If reliable, it would be great.
You can still see a spike in gas around Feb 2025, when wind was weaker and there was still little irradiation.
Ain't solar (compared to wind) so-and-so idea in most of the EU? I mean, unless you are in southern Italy, southern Spain, or Greece, you you'll need that gas to survive the winter.
I mean - one thing ugly, and the other thing is that this land could be arable or a nature reserve.
The hill in the photo looks ugly, tbh. Still, much better (and livelier) than the landscape after oilsands or brown coal extraction.
Preferably, most grid-connected solar panels would be on buildings, deserts, and postindustrial land. But in the face of the climate catastrophe, the South China hills are also fine.

I guess we should just do more offshore wind at home, in Europe ¯(ツ)_/¯
And support wind elsewhere. I know that in much of the world, solar is more feasible. But I am also sure there are places where access to electricity and pollution are problems at the same time, and where wind would be a better option.
