It is very carefully worded, but variable renewables are holding the smoking gun here. This is why spain now requests a better connection to french nuclear now. This reckless overbuild of variable generation is a valuable negative example, wind and solar without adequate hydro or nuclear is dead

It's lack of experience managing variability, not variability itself.

Wind and solar are very far from dead, but they do need some adjustments - as the report makes clear.
