Best thing is, the internet garbage ain’t the real world. In the real world, money talks. Wind energy is by far the best and cheapest way, to scale energy. The wind is blowing day and night, the sun isn’t shining. Solar energy is great in sunny states but in the far North and South, where there is short days and nasty weather 200 days of the year wind is by far the most preferable. There is a lot of places around the European continent, where the wind is blowing 95% of the time.
There are better ways still, using natural temperature differences to boil a medium whose boiling point is in that range and run turbines, harnessing free electricity. The US navy has long had a version of this, boiling ammonia in tropical waters at 80 degrees on the surface and cooling it at 60 degrees a ways down.
Made by Halliburton of all companies, that makes a lot of oil drilling equipment.
