Headline news: Greece doesn't use much electricity in the night-time!

From Sky News:

Greece breaks a new record by running the country entirely on renewable energy for five hours

Well done, you think, reducing its reliance on fossil fuels etc... until you read the small print:

It reached a record high of 3,106MWh (megawatt hours) of electricity at 9am local time (7am UK time), according to IPTO, the country's independent power transmission operator.

Yup, during night-time/dawn period, when electricity consumption is only a fraction of daytime peak usage.

So this sort of statement is jumping the gun a bit:

Nikos Mantzaris, a partner at think tank the Green Tank said last Friday's performance was important because "it shows that a 100% renewable electricity system is within reach in Greece, a concept that was considered impossible by most opinion and decision makers in Greece before".

I'd consider this a 'gotcha' worthy of Ali G.
