A bit disappointing, was hoping for a bigger milestone but this is still a positive.
Relevant Text:
Added context is that it isn't for the full day, only needs to be part of the day (ex. 15 minutes), where renewables provided all of the electricity needs for the state.
The article said “.25 - 6 hr per day”. I interpreted that to mean 1/4 of the day (6 hours). While not as good as 24 hours, it is definitely not a paltry 15 minutes.
Between 15 minutes and 6 hours of the day per the tweets from the prof the article posts about.
I know the tweet I'm linking is quoting the article, but it's the prof quoting the article stating the range, so I take that as an endorsement of the validity of the range.

Thanks, that makes sense.
To add on to what NegativeInf said and linked, "0.25" is a weird way to say a quarter of a day. It makes more sense, to me, that the zero at the front was left off and it should read "0.25-6 hr per day".
Yeah, I agree; my brain went off into left field I guess.
