Here's a quick screen grab from electricitymaps.com
Do note how the gas use remains about constant as more and more renewables are added.
Also note how little energy comes from the solar in the winter months with the load being picked up by gas and wind.
It's easy to do renewables on a June sunny afternoon. The trouble starts when you must also provide for a windless December night.

As far as i can deduce from the data your current energy supply model is based on solar and wind heavily supplemented by gas. Piling up more solar won't be of much use.

Read carefully. Just because they say the technology wasn't designed to evaluate employees that doesn't mean they won't use it this way.

The whole EU has a housing problem and the whole EU has a problem with fash populism.
Then again with proportional elections you have a bit wider choice than in the US where the threshold of being able to effectively campaign is so high that the choice is almost inevitably between 2 oligarchs and the incentive to not vote is much stronger.
