Solar panels smothered with snow and ice produce nothing; wind turbines frozen solid during breathless, frigid weather produce even less (they actually consume power from the grid to run heating systems meant to prevent their internal workings suffering permanent damage). So, if you’re sitting freezing in the dark, don’t expect wind and solar power generators … Continue reading Wind & Solar Generators Couldn’t Care Less When You’re Freezing In The Dark

Winter’s Inevitable Wind & Solar Output Collapses Guarantee More Deadly Blackouts
As another northern winter bites, it’s worth revisiting the deadly renewable energy calamity that hit America’s heartland back in February. Hundreds died in freezing homes, left without electricity thanks to hundreds of iced-up wind turbines, left frozen solid, and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event. Solar fared no … Continue reading Winter’s Inevitable Wind & Solar Output Collapses Guarantee More Deadly Blackouts
American & German Renewables Disasters Drive Demand for Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
The total collapse in wind and solar output during the big freezes that first struck Germany and then America provides a wake-up call for any policymaker still promoting that dangerously unreliable pair. Indeed, any politician or policy wonk still pushing wind and solar as meaningful power sources is likely to be welcomed to a facility … Continue reading American & German Renewables Disasters Drive Demand for Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
