      It’s almost like anyone who claims renewables are a bad idea because “sun goes down” and “wind stops sometimes” are either intentionally misrepresenting the arguments, arguing in bad faith, or are just plain idiots.

      It’s usually the latter.

        I think it depends on who’s doing the talking — oil execs aren’t idiots, so I think in their case, it’s the first two (intentional misrepresentation, bad faith).

        Someone repeating what their uncle/Newsmax host/etc. said? Yeah, maybe that’s the latter…
