Hitting a momentary, or short-lived peak is NOT validation of the ability to provide electric power 24/7.

Scientifically; it's a STUNT having NOTHING to do with proof or validation.

It would be like shooting someone out of a cannon; and they spend a few seconds in the air; and then claiming "validation" for sustained flight.

There's nothing "sustained" about it at all.

However, the "greenie wet dream" purveyors and the propaganda express march on...
