There is a paper floating around showing that for both US+Canada and the continental EU there has never been a single hour where there has been no wind and no sun somewhere in a 30 year period.

I mean, would you believe it the other way around?

I wouldn't believe that. But concrete data to have, is of course better than assuming ..
