Wind, sun and other clean energy, sentence 7

On a calm night there is neither, so the grid still needs other sources and stores of energy, and that is why engineers mix many kinds together.

Who acts: grid, that, engineers · What happens: be, need, mix · To what, where: other sources, many kinds

This is a sentence of the lesson «Wind, sun and other clean energy» of the technology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (grid, that, engineers), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
