Reminder: It's not just snow and ice that render solar and wind power useless

Solar and wind farms after Hurricanes Irma and María, 2017. I spent 10 + 40 days without power, and I was one of the first ones to get it back.

I once had pie with four and twenty blackbirds baked in it.

Was it four score and seven days ago?

Regardless the multiplicity of reasons for the Texas tragedy of February 2021, the policies of the Federal Government and those of the State of Texas combined to create the means for disaster. Weather created the trigger, and the die was cast for us all to learn from history, which of course is the absolute worst way to learn, because it is actually a relearn.

There is nothing new that takes place in this world. It has been around long enough that any condition, experience, happening, accident, disaster, event, etc has happened in the past at some point in history. Let’s just say it is pointless to debate the ability of Earth to sustain life for as long as God deems it.

With that established over a seven thousand year history, why would we even give ear to moron’s stating the opposite, much less allow such ideas to infiltrate a legislative body or even worse a bureaucratic unelected body that now rules over we the people in place of the elected.

Big Wind and Big Solar are unreliable and inconsistent.
If you want to have reliability, they need to be backed up with Big Carbon which is not cheap to build and maintain in a state of readiness to go on line with just a few hours notice.

Consumers need to understand this and can make their choice:
Green and sometimes interrupted.
Green and more expensive with backup.
Not so green but cheap and reliable.

No.

The false premise of green needs to be rejected out of hand.

In todays world the choices related to weather seem to be:

Stupid

Ignorant

Expensive

Unreliable

Insanity

Those are not choices made by sane people.

So buying in to the green clean poop the insane are selling is buying in to the destruction of the world as we know it. In reality, we are cleaner and greener than ever, but that truth is not in the equation or the intent of the insane. The nut hatch is where they belong.
