New word I have learned today: Dunkelflaute, the dark doldrums where little or no energy can be generated with wind or solar power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkelflaute

Wikipedia also teaches me about: the Duck Curve, the amount of power that must be generated from sources other than solar or wind. So called because it resembles a duck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve
