Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power

Anyone claiming that solar power is a meaningful power source, has never seen a sunset, and they can’t have never seen a hurricane, hailstorm, or snowfall, or witnessed an icy frost. Because each of those planetary and meteorological events destroys either the panels themselves, or their ability to provide power consumers with electricity. In this … Continue reading Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power

Sun Cult Exuberant Over Brief Moment When Solar Delivered: Then Came Sunset…

The infantile mentality of the renewables cult is on vivid display when they crow about wind or solar adding something meaningful to the grid. Always brief and fleeting, the 60 minutes when solar or wind did something special, is always trumpeted as if no one else cares about their power needs for the other … Continue reading Sun Cult Exuberant Over Brief Moment When Solar Delivered: Then Came Sunset…

Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves

Goldilocks was evidently the brains behind the ‘engineering’ of wind and solar power, which only operate when conditions are “just right”. When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. Solar panels aren’t any more resilient. A … Continue reading Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves

The Big Battery Myth: Why Battery Storage Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar

For almost a century, electricity generation and distribution were treated as a tightly integrated system: it was designed and built as one, and is meant to operate as designed. However, the chaotic delivery of wind and solar have all but trashed the electricity generation and delivery system, as we know it. Germany, California and South … Continue reading The Big Battery Myth: Why Battery Storage Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar
