Nothing will change their direction. A disaster is the goal. The "noble cause" to which they credit their actions is merely a deception to confuse and delay opposition.
Such people must be removed from any position of authority.
That is what will make a real difference in energy consumption.
It is expensive, hard and dangerous to store electricity.
It is relatively cheap, safe and easy to store solar energy in the form of heat in concrete, stone or water.
We have been doing so for over 40 years with increasing success.
Today I am going to flush our solar hot water loop from the collectors to the heat exchanger, convert it from an open loop to a closed loop, adding a bladder type expansion tank.
Then am going to work at installing 4 more panels for heating concrete floors that are presently being heated by our System 2000 boiler.
I did an experiment over a few years with solar electricity, with panels, Victron charge controllers and a large battery bank.
On a sunny day we can run all but the electric induction stove and refrigerator on solar.
If we have had good sun in the summer, we can go one night.
If it it cloudy for more than one day, back to the grid power.
Of course this gets worse in the parts of the year when there is less sun.
I wonder if the clueless leftist extremist ignorant barbarians realize the earth tilts away from the sun seasonally?
I calculated we would need 67 times the panels and batteries we now have powering the house to go off grid.
We presently have 6 195 amp hour AGM batteries fed by 2KW of solar panels.
IMHO off grid solar electric is the way to go for backup and reliability.
I power all of my ham radio gear with solar both at home and on the road.
All of our lighting, 2 Engel fridges and boiler can run off solar if needed.
If we have enough sun, we can run the microwave and one induction burner.
These starry eyed nuts need to be taken to the woodshed.
