Come rain or shine?

Sir, –I don't know if Conall Bolger, chief executive of the Irish Solar Energy Association (Letters, September 25th), has ever been to Donegal but he tends to optimism in writing, "the sun tends to shine when the wind tends not to blow." – Yours, etc,

Sir, – According to the representative of the Irish Solar Energy Association, sunshine is not intermittent. The sun does not shine at night. Cloud coverage in Ireland is almost impossible to predict. If that’s not intermittent, I do not know what is! And unfortunately, pretty much the same can be said for wind. – Yours, etc,
