Wind is a massive fustercluck...equipment is fussy to maintain and unreliable, prone to damage by birds and weather...
Solar is magnitudes more problematic the further away from the tropics you roam, in northern climates a major challenge...6 - 30% capacity in a year is hardly going to be anywhere near practical...even with banking the cold months would deplete any public bank rapidly...and I chuckle in the article when industry folks see it as unprofitable to hire low-wage earners to brush snow off panels! And as far as weather goes there are winter storms like ice storms and blizzards with high winds...and in other seasons thunderstorms, tornadoes, derechos, straight-line winds, hail...

But ecotards and their false religion whose basic tenant is the death of fossil fuels (and of mankind) in the attainment of a totalitarian utopia of slaves, slave drivers and masters somehow has convinced them they will hold positions of honor and privilege in this future Hell.
