RE is not free. While the energy input (wind and solar) is 'free', the cost of building and maintaining the systems is far from free. The cost of the required fossil fuel backup, is also not 'free'. The cost of the extra balancing costs needed when RE is added, is not 'free'.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1687219415321088000

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
