Oct 28, 2026 - The Perfect Ratio of Wind to Solar (US vs UK) Solar works when the sun shines, wind when the wind blows. But in what RATIO should a country build them? We look for the mix that leaves the smallest gaps, so the grid needs the least storage and backup, using 32 years of US weather (Becker et al.) and 37 years of British weather (Royal Society). The US lands near half and half. The UK near 80/20, and it`s already there.
