Any business claiming its products are made with 100% wind and/or solar power is engaged in truly ‘creative marketing’, aka old-fashioned ‘fraud’.
For a start, the sun sets like clockwork and calm weather sets in, every other day.
Then there’s the fact that – for every MW of wind or solar – there is a MW of reliable, dispatchable electricity generation sitting somewhere connected to the grid, without which we would all be sitting freezing (or boiling) in the dark.
