IIRC apt actually does support external media (because back in the day, not everyone had fast internet).

Yes congrats, we will need to build energy storages. Thats nothing new.

Ok, so where are the energy storages currently being built? This is not exactly a problem that's cheap or trivial to solve.

The renewables generate electricity mostly when there is sun/wind, so there is an oversupply at those times and a need to burn natural gas at other times.

The nuclear plants would generate electricity 24/7 with little waste.

Either way, now they are investing the money in digging up lignite, so it's worse than either renewables or nuclear.

Eh, this is a classic joke by now. There's those jokes on the Windows side too (like the 'delete system32' one).
