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.
