    Give me an example of an industrialized country which runs on wind and solar without gas or coal backup plants.

      Most countries which are near 100% renewables are using hydro or geothermal. Wind and solar plants being added to the mix in large numbers is a very recent phenomenon.

        You got the point exactly. Thing is, hydro and geothermal power are not scalable. Thinking one can decarbonize Germany or the US with renewables alone is a pipe dream unfounded in reality.

          You miss my point. And I can’t be bothered explaining it to you.
