Future 100 day update: We got 99 days before we had to fall back on non-renewable resources for a day. That's only a 99% fuel saving, which is not enough and means renewables are terrible and we should never try to use them again.

I think you misunderstood my comment. This article has been posted before when it was about 50 or 60 days. Now it appears again at 76 days. Why does the number of days matter?

I love the fact that people imply there's some conspiracy to hold down renewable energy meanwhile nearly every country on the globe is subsidizing it.

I meant to reference the common (uneducated) perception that if there's ever any way that renewable resources fall short, that means they're useless. It's the same mindset that says that an electric car "only" has a range of 300-450km and takes a while to recharge, and therefore is useless as a vehicle because it can't do nonstop cross-country road trips.
