4. Bullshit. The operative dishonest word is "mainly."

This means that the trivial system is connected to what is undoubtedly the grid.

When the economics of the plant are trashed by being able to run 20% to 30% of the time, thus being a stranded useless asset for 70% of the time, the owners of the plant will buy electricity from the grid.

Lots and lots and lots of advertising is bought by the obscenely gullible people to whom the advertising is directed. The orange mold living in the White House advertised he was going to make America great again as if it weren't great already. The result of the acceptance by stupid people of the rhetoric is that American greatness was destroyed perhaps irreversibly. The "Green electricity" lie didn't save the atmosphere from destruction. It squandered resources and made the atmosphere move ever more quickly to it's destruction. Likewise, that destruction is also irreversible.

We buy into dishonest marketing at our peril.
