Question
Sanjay said that wind farms will not meet all our energy needs as the demand for electricity grows, because we cannot rely on a source which varies with the weather. We need power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which is why the construction of wind turbines, with their uneven output, is not the solution.
Which one of these statements, if true, most strengthens Sanjay's argument?
