Reliable and affordable power supplies were built by engineers not ideologues. As the latter merrily destroy everything the engineers created, it’s worth identifying just how witless these characters are. These clowns would struggle with basic arithmetic, and have no hope when it comes to the laws of physics and principles of economics. No better example … Continue reading Grand Lunacy: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Designed by Clueless Idiots

Grid-Scale Power Storage Myth Busted: Giant Batteries Can’t Save Unreliable Wind & Solar
It only takes a moment’s reckoning to appreciate that the grid-scale storage electricity generated by wind or solar is a perfect nonsense. Those profiting from hopelessly intermittent wind and solar still claim that mega-batteries are the solution to their obvious lack of reliability. Others point to pumped hydro and even ridiculously claim that “excess” wind … Continue reading Grid-Scale Power Storage Myth Busted: Giant Batteries Can’t Save Unreliable Wind & Solar
Storage Stories: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar Power’s Natural Intermittency
It only takes a moment’s reckoning to appreciate that the grid-scale storage electricity generated by wind or solar is a perfect nonsense. It hasn’t occurred anywhere in the world; nor will it. The combined capacity of all of the batteries on Earth would store a trivial 10 minute’s worth of the World’s electricity needs. The … Continue reading Storage Stories: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar Power’s Natural Intermittency
Numbers Game: Smashing The Wind & Solar Power Storage Myth With Arithmetic
Rent-seekers would have it that giant lithium-ion batteries are the simple answer to wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency, but that notion doesn’t stand first contact with the wind and solar industry’s nemesis: arithmetic. The wishful claim that we’ll all soon be powered by nothing but wind and solar is, of course, utter nonsense. And, as … Continue reading Numbers Game: Smashing The Wind & Solar Power Storage Myth With Arithmetic
Hype-Dream: World’s Renewable Energy Storage Capacity Destined to Remain Totally Trivial
When they’re not bursting into toxic fireballs, the contribution made by giant lithium-ion batteries remains utterly trivial. They are, after all, electricity storage devices and don’t add a lick to electricity generation capacity, anywhere. The cost of battery storage, at scale, is out of all proportion to the benefits returned and we wouldn’t be having … Continue reading Hype-Dream: World’s Renewable Energy Storage Capacity Destined to Remain Totally Trivial
