Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar

In the beginning, engineers designed power transmission grids to connect a few generators to millions of power users. Nowadays, ideologues reckon they can connect thousands of generators, spread far and wide, to power users who haven't moved an inch. The cost of doing so, is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Worse still, the … Continue reading Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar

Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions

Our power grids were working just fine, until unreliable, intermittent and diffuse wind and solar turned up. Insanely costly in any event, now we’re told that our ‘inevitable transition’ will cost $trillions more, with the additional cost that comes with hooking up thousands more wind turbines and millions more solar panels, spread far and wide. … Continue reading Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
