Source: have a solar plant on my house. I can see the generation statistics for the last several years - at worst, I see a 50% reduction on cloudy days. Oh, and guess what? System designers account for this.

300 pages/day vs. 33 pages/day. They have plenty of fucking time.

Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is about the same length as The Old Man and the Sea. Tell me which is more readable.
