In the long history of Earth, there have been dozens of icy extinctions, but no global warming crises. Those preparing for an imaginary global warming emergency are destined to follow the mammoths and the Neanderthals to an icy extinction.
Solar power fails every day from sunset to sunrise as well as during rain, hail, snow, or dust storms. No matter how much land we smother in subsidized solar panels, they will still fail.
Wind power fails often and unpredictably, sometimes for days, especially in quiet cold winter weather. It also shuts down during cyclones, heavy winds or icy conditions. No matter how many hills we uglify with their subsidized roads, transmission lines, and bird-slicers, they will still fail.
No one notices when green energy fails (as it often does) because coal, gas and hydro keep the lights and heaters on, trains running, petrol pumping, batteries charging and dairies, abattoirs and hospitals operating.
But everyone noticed when hydrogen coolant exploded in one unit of the Callide coal-fired power station in Queensland recently. This caused a major state blackout for 1.5 hours. Power restoration started within 15 minutes mainly from quick-start gas plus a bit of hydro.
Hyped energy “solutions” to intermittent green energy include big batteries, Snowy 2 pumped hydro and hydrogen. These all consume more energy than they can produce; and more green fashion accessories like electric cars will quickly suck the whole electricity network dry.

Why not increase funding on nuclear fusion reactors instead of technology that is inherently unreliable.
Hafta get used to resetting the blinking clock 17 times a day.
Ask any communist if they would want to be on a respirator powered by only solar panels.
Nuclear power plants are the only real solution to keep the world generating enough power, if they want to eliminate fossil fuels.
I agree and believe this is the one we need:
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett building nuclear reactor in nation's biggest coal-producing state
Well, he can certainly put his money into it, but he can't have anything to do with its design and construction. 8>)
I think you are right, or the smarter ones will go Amish. But I think rather than build one or two large plants which are hard or impossible to control if they have issues, many smaller ones that would each be much easier to control if there was an issue would be the wisest way to do it. Divide and reduce the risk, and if one goes down the other nine are still up and running and there is no disruption of service.
One needs to research Gates few college years and see if he was protesting Nuclear Power in the late sixties - early seventies........
Hypocrite- one who acts in a role as in a play.....

So the elf’s made the ice go away?.
And the nuke plants will be running with microsoft.
LOL, what happens when a nuke plant experiences a blue screen?
