The wife and I saw this segment on KATU, it was a very good piece, I imagine the politicians in OR are not happy about it.

OMG! THINK OF THE SOOT IN THE PRINT OF THE FOOT PRINT!!!
The most reliable combination is hydro and nuke. One is constant and the other covers peaks like a giant battery fed by vapor falling from the skies natually!!! (like the ill fated Auburn Dam)

Wind power is touted as the cleanest and greenest renewable energy resource. What a shame wind has zero stored potential. Ever notice that most of the "green" solutions that are going to save the earth have zero stored potential?

I remember an author who appeared on the Dennis prager show last year. She used to be opposed to nuclear and is now an advocate. She said that the trouble with solar and windmill farms is their hugh footprints. It would take a solar farm 7 miles by 7 miles to produce the same power as one nuke plant.

People don’t realize that wind turbines won’t produce
current if the wind is less than about 8 mph and they will
tear themselves apart if the wind is over about 45 mph. (they have to be disengaged)
