9. The author of the piece dishonestly attempts nothing

You accuse others of what you do.

The article:

Thanks to a particularly breezy and sunny Sunday, renewables such as wind and solar, along with some biomass and hydropower, peaked at a record 85 percent, or 55.2 gigawatts, and even came along with negative prices for several hours at the electricity exchange.


Your characterization:
the author of the piece dishonestly attempts to leave the reader with the impression that 85% of the energy produced last weekend came from renewables


As to whether it is a record or not, I don't know or particularly care. Innumerable assertions of limits on the amount of renewables a grid can handle made by antirenewable nuclear boosters on this forum were demonstrated to be false.
