Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources

The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources

Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs

‘Bombs’ are designed to store and quickly release copious amounts of energy, so are the mega-batteries said to save wind and solar from their hopeless intermittency. The notion is that giant lithium-ion batteries will quell the power delivery chaos that comes with attempting to rely on wholly weather-dependent wind power and wholly sunshine-dependent solar power; … Continue reading Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs
