Myth 1: “Renewables can contribute only a small share of grid electricity because they only work when the wind blows and the sun shines” It’s true that wind and solar are variable resources that provide most power to the grid when the sun shines or the wind blows. These options can enable relatively high shares of wind and solar on a grid.
