I think the Energizer Bunny knows more about the grid than Ocasio-Cortez.

It’s my understanding that the utilities have to take special measures to deal with these kinds of factors when the greenies sponsor their stupid “Earth Hour” in the Spring.

Does her renewable energy ideas include extending Daylight Savings Time several more hours to gather more sunlight?
Perhaps huge electric fans blowing on the Wind Turbines during slack times.
Yeah, that’ll work!

I’ve been saying since day one of the Green New Deal that anyone pushing it is as clueless about thermodynamics as they are economics, and that implementation would take us back many decades in living standards - to the 1930s and the Great Depression.

The ants in my kitchen know more about the electric grid than the Cortez nimrod.

The only renewable energy source are trees. You cut one down for fuel, you plant two more. Now if we could capture the methane from cow farts that might be a renewable fuel source. Cow eats grass, farts, cow eats more grass, farts again.

“Nor can consumer demand be suddenly reduced enough.”

He misses the point that one purpose of the ‘NGD’ is the reduction of consumer demand to levels that renewables can support.
For example, The ‘NGD’ will transform housing from suburban separate family to high rise condos of limited size.

Base Load vs Peak Load.

Base load is the minimum level of electricity demand required over a period of 24 hours. It is needed to provide power to components that keep running at all times (also referred as continuous load).

Peak load is the time of high demand. These peaking demands are often for only shorter durations. A Peak Load system needs to generate electricity almost instantly.

So what is the 'Green Energy' plan to prove a reliable, low cost Base Load Generator?

And what is the 'Green Energy' plan to prove a reliable, instantaneously Peak Load Generator?

Currently none of the 'Green Energy' proposals fit the needs for either generation system.

Missing from the Green New Deal is how food will be produced without internal combustion powered farm machinery to plant, harvest and transport agricultural products to market. Reverting to the horse or oxen powered agriculture of 150 years ago has a problem...these critters like cows are flatulent. I doubt AOC has ever seen a farm.
