Renewabro

A Renewabro is that overly enthusiastic guy who treats renewable energy like a magic fix for everything — loud, smug, and completely blind to facts. He’ll preach solar and wind as 100% flawless solutions, while ignoring pesky realities like grid instability, extreme variability (no sun, no power), lack of controllable output, and the enormous system costs (extra power lines, converters, backup infrastructure, storage, etc.). Criticize any of it, and you’ll be labeled anti-science or worse — a fossil fuel shill. For the Renewabro, shouting “just add more panels!” is the answer to everything, even at night.

After five minutes talking to Jake about energy, I realized he’s a total Renewabro — no storage plan, no grid knowledge, just vibes.
