Out to Wreck Your Economy & Punish the Poor & Vulnerable? Try Intermittent Wind & Solar
A generation or so back, the ‘green’ was a well-meaning tree-hugger. Then along came CO2 gas which resulted in a new shade of ‘green’.

But, in the same breath, we are also told that, at least for a while, it will need … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Wind Power Always Needs Gas, But Gas Can Always Go It Alone
