In previous post, I wondered where exactly methane storage is implemented in the 100% Renewable Electricity Calculator and how seasonal storage is dealt with. Spoiler alert, no methane storage whatsoever is implemented in the calculator and seasonal storage is not taken into account.

Wind and solar are hopelessly unreliable and intermittent, and wild promises of grid-scale storage of wind and solar are a cruel hoax.
