100% renewable until the dams dried up and they flew in diesel generators (worse than coal) to prop up the state, reversing several years of environmental progress.

That event is illustrative of the fundamental problem here. Green energy proponents pretend it never happens and do not factor diesel emissions into the cost of hydro and other solutions.

Another common way they mislead is by pretending that emissions from gas peaking plants are not inherently associated with solar and wind generating, even though they would not exist without them.

It's a kind of sleight of hand or green washing that should be called out more frequently.

100% renewable does not exist. Not in '100% hydro' Tasmania or anywhere else.

On unconnected islands. If Tasmania had the interconnects to export their power they could have reversed those to import solar from the mainland.
