“I claim credit for being the first person to demand a demonstration project to show how a zero emissions electrical grid is supposed to work”
I remember one case where there is some small island. They tried it, and then someone noted there was still an underground connection to a larger island, that, of course, had real generators.
Pretty funny.
You are remembering correctly. Almost a perfect scenario as far as wind power, they sit smack dab in the trade winds, that blow north around of the equator.
Except when the do not blow robustly enough to turn the wind turbines. Can't manage a pumped storage lake with no power to lift the water.
Another sterling fiasco.
