Spain’s 100% ‘reliance’ on wind and solar led to the World’s largest self-inflicted, total blackout, ever. Sure, wild winds and lightning will down power lines and plunge parts of a country into darkness. But, when sunset and/or benign, overcast weather are enough to sink an entire power grid, your obsession with intermittent wind and solar can only end one way.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup, with Robert Bradley confirming what we already knew.

Paul Homewood reports on an effort by energy regulators in Texas to force wind and solar outfits to behave like conventional generators. Much like pushing on string, ordering weather and sunshine dependent generators to generate power on calm nights is utterly pointless. In reality, the game is all about installing an enormous amount of new gas-generation capacity in an effort to mask the fact that wind and solar are completely unreliable.

In this paper by Oliver Smith et al., the spread of intermittent and unreliable wind and solar is found guilty of destabilising the grid, naturally enough. And They also conclude that batteries are incapable of providing any kind of remedy.
