This is what happens when you listen to a bunch of hippies begging for "green" alternatives like solar panels and wind farms while asking to dismantle the nuclear power plants.
It isn't just hippies. It's anyone that has the "correct" beliefs (NPCs basically). Something that really stuck with me was someone in a comment to some article I read said "solar panels can't warm Chicago in winter" and there was a bunch of replies of "the sun still shines in winter, duh." That's the enemy, people who think anything that puts out any voltage for a few hours a day is good enough to power a city. "It make power. What problem?"
I was being a bit generic on the "hippie" comment, but yes, you are correct.
Plus, for that solar panel to power something at night, on a city that massive, they would need a battery probably the size of a stadium. Which, considering how polluting it is to get batteries, any benefit is quickly destroyed. Assuming that solar panels are "Carbon neutral" (when in fact it is far dirtier to make than a nuclear power plant), those batteries would destroy it quickly.
Germany sells energy when it is windy and has a lot of sun. But buys and fires their coal and gas power plants when it is not. Which is a lot. There is no way to store it. And this is a huge problem. Sad that they do not realize their choices are more damaging to the environment than the nuclear power plants.

They are crazy climate cultists. Environmentalists are communists in disguise. Conservationism is the virtuous form of environmentalism
They're watermelons; green on the outside red on the inside.
Environmental fascism is legit.
