South Australia has a huge amount of solar and wind, but relativity little storage, and basically no renewable base load (hydro, geothermal, nuclear). While the average renewable energy usage is fairly high, the instantaneous renewable usage can drop to almost 0 some days.
Solutions are being implemented, and the renewable mix is gradually improving.

I'm honestly surprised it's set to fall. I thought we were still increasing fossil fuel use.
The plural of regex is regrets.
I thought that open source just meant that you could read the source.
I've found syncthing to be easier once the initial setup has been done.
