    Templar Gridwatch will have to get a new solar dial, or the needle will get bent.

    I'm sure I remember when "coal" had a big dial on the left of that display and "wind" had a little one on the right.

    Now solar has a higher peak output than nuclear (although integrated over the year I think nuclear is still a bigger contributor). Maybe it'll soon be time to swap them over?

    A sign of the times.
