One day, scientists will develop a means of generating energy that can be stored efficiently, that is not exorbitantly expensive, and that does not rely on the wind to be blowing or the sun to be shining. In the meantime, we are menaced by “wind drought” — or as dementedly green Germans call it, Dunkelflaute:

Dunkelflaute typically occurs during winter months, particularly in November, December, and January. And it appears that the projection is for slowing wind speeds over the next few decades…

Now a 12-day dunkelflaute that began in early November has German energy executives deeply concerned. …

In 2021, there was a lengthy dunkelflaute in Northern Europe and energy utility profits plummeted.

Reliable energy would be especially nice to have in the wintertime, despite the planet supposedly having a fever:

The Global Burden of Disease study attributed 1.9 million deaths globally to non-optimal temperatures in 2021, with cold-related deaths being about four times higher than heat-related ones. If there is not access to light and heat, the conditions for humans becomes suboptimal.

Conditions for humans become optimal where moonbattery is kept in check. This would allow dumping wind and solar in favor of more sensible nuclear and fossil fuels.
