Re:Wind and solar are now beating coal in the US by epistasis on Thursday April 27, 2023 @10:52PM (#35736995)
For a fact is check here, I recommend that people do a quick web search. "Solar panel hurricane" or "wind turbine hurricane" will set the record straight here, that they survive hurricanes just fine.

And for people or small communities with battery storage on their solar, they are back online before everyone else. Solar panels also work absolutely great in freezes, without requiring due supply.

And since a grid built on renewables has far more battery storage on it, and is used to shifting power sources frequently due to the intermittency of renewables, a renewable grid will have fewer single points of failure and be more resilient when there are large weather events that take out large generators.
