Renewable Energy Future

The whole world is looking at ways to meet their Paris Agreement Pledge and being emission neutral by 2050.
For a small state with no onshore or offshore opportunities for wind farms and very little area for solar arrays the answer is to invest in such facilities in other countries and import the resulting energy, either in the form of Electric power, or as Green Hydrogen.

Here is an example of the first:

Yes, we did have a thread about this earlier, but since that is old and would have been closed if I tried to revive it I started this new one with a wider scope for comments and discussion.

Maybe combining solar and wind is the future?:

The big thing about hydro, and Norway is blessed, if you develop wind and solar it keeps the water in the dam and that is the best dammed battery there is. A long, long time ago whilst training In demolitions and sabotage we fitted a large hydro dam in the middle of the night for instructions on destroying the turbines using the minimum of explosive charges. This was before computers and it was fascinating to see how the operators responded to a changing load. The All Blacks rugby team were playing England in England and back then you listened to the game on the radio in the middle of the night. At half time the listening audience rose as one and switched on the kettle to brew a cup of tea. As the load came on the duty operator tweaked the controls on the gates keeping the frequency steady.
