With oil at $100/barrel, the replacement of these generators or their hybridization with renewables was just beginning to take off.

Everybody knew then that renewables were unreliable: that wind power fully works less than one-third of the time, and that solar power is unavailable at night (of course) and less efficient on cloudy winter days.
