Spain’s 100% ‘reliance’ on wind and solar led to the World’s largest self-inflicted, total blackout, ever.

Destination Blackout: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Wrecking Reliable Power Supplies
Because electricity demand is a here and now kind of thing, intermittent wind and solar will never amount to meaningful generation sources. Ever.

Freezing In The Dark? Just Ask Wind & Solar Generators to ‘Turn It Up’
The inherent absurdity in our headline is precisely the point. No one in touch with reality expects wind power during calm weather or solar power when the sun sets.

Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
The ‘transition’ to portable electric generators, flashlights and candles is well on its way. The inevitable consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes is having power only when the sun is up and the wind is blowing, just right. Grid-scale energy storage is a myth, as is waffle about so-called ‘green’ hydrogen. The … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
