Military leaders take orders.
Grid integration has always been the issue.
>> [Doug Burgum] voiced concerns about the reliability of renewable power sources promoted under the Biden administration
Glad to hear this. From what little I know about him I was a bit concerned that he was “green on the inside”.
Should be interesting...Trump has always said....we need every form of energy.
“Burgum as governor outlined plans to make the state carbon neutral by 2030. And he touted a pipeline that would be used to capture and store greenhouse gases that fuel climate change. Burgum told lawmakers Thursday the U.S. has an opportunity to remove the carbon from burning fossil fuels while promoting new development.”
This is the globalist horror that he is in his position for.
Disgusting.
Of course its unreliable. That’s why backup systems are needed when the wind don’t blow and the sun don’t shine.
There is no question that too much non-dispatchable power on the grid leads to grid stability problems. The only people questioning it are the politically “correct”.
He shouldn’t be the first.
There are thousands of these monolith windmills scattered across the US and offshore, and the sad things is that they don’t work some of the time, never in calm wind, and their parts are not reusable. They require hydrocarbon products to lubricate and only last 10 years at best. Then, they cannot be buried. What are we going to do with these useless piles of junk? Other than those drawbacks, they are great. Any farmer that relied on windmills to generate of electricity for his stock tank water pumps cheered the day he got electricity to his farm from the local generation plant.
Wasn’t it in North Dakota that a hail storm wiped out a solar farm? Let’s ask the folks in Texas about wind and solar power after the winter weather hit them a couple of years ago. I doubt they have any questions about reliability of renewable energy.
“Green” energy is hardly pollution free.
Far as I can see, it ends up creating more than fossil fuels and making, using, and disposing of it wastes more energy and creates more pollution than it ever produces.
This guy’s a disaster:
“Continue the great work they are already doing and don’t be afraid to tell that story. We are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the market demands shifting toward a carbonconstrained future. Take, for example, the huge opportunity for our corn and soybean growers who can sell their commodities to ethanol and biodiesel plants. By implementing best practices, they can receive a premium for their crop, which then is developed right here in North Dakota into an ethanol or renewable diesel product that can be sold into a lucrative, low-carbon market.”
