Electrical Sewage: Power Grid Slugs Householders For Costs of Managing Daily Solar Surge

The inability to control wind and solar output is the very definition of chaos. Domestic solar panels reach their maximum output around noon. At midnight, not so much. Call it all or nothing. Dealing with the noonday surge has become the bane of grid managers and the grand disruptor of once orderly power markets. The … Continue reading Electrical Sewage: Power Grid Slugs Householders For Costs of Managing Daily Solar Surge

Uncontrollable Surge: Daytime Solar Output Swamps Grid & Wrecks Power Market

The chaos that’s wrecking our power supplies is what happens when engineers are replaced by ideologues. Long on cultish mantras about the ‘inevitable transition’ and the wonders of ‘free wind and solar energy’, but short on maths, physics and economics, the clowns in charge of our power supplies would have been charged with treason, not … Continue reading Uncontrollable Surge: Daytime Solar Output Swamps Grid & Wrecks Power Market

Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable

There’s nothing vaguely ‘renewable’ about wind and solar - when panels and turbines give up the ghost after a decade or so, the panels are crushed and dumped in landfills, as are millions of turbine blades. None of which is recycled; none of which is renewable. The panels and turbines are completely replaced and the … Continue reading Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable

Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise

There is a place for solar power, but it ain’t connected to a power grid. Delivering power for no more than seven hours a day (ordinarily between five and six hours, at best, and less in winter) means sticking solar panels on homes connected to conventional power grids makes no sense at all. As the … Continue reading Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise
