Washington State needs to quickly promulgate and enforce fire safety regulations specifically for grid scale battery complexes. These should cover emergency planning and preparedness, where the latter includes both facility...
A demonstration project that fails spectacularly is the only thing with any hope of saving them.
Green energy policies are the primary cause for high and escalating California energy prices.
As we know, solar produces virtually nothing in winter, and if wind power is down to 10% of capacity, that would provide only 16 GW.
We need to know.
Alas, we await true demonstrations of capability and cost.
their vision of 2050 does not quite violate the first law of thermodynamics, but it goes on to break all the basic tenets of sound engineering.
But even these numbers wildly understate the real world costs of storage that would be needed.
The only question is how disastrous the crash will be when it all falls apart.
Unfortunately, our powers-that-be don’t seem to have those five minutes to figure out the obvious, so we’ll just have to bash them over the head with it.
The end product is an excellent illustration of why central planning does not work and can never work.
It’s no wonder that green hydrogen is all talk.
not only is there no working demonstration project anywhere in the world of the wind/solar/storage energy system, but there is none under construction and none even proposed.
Yes, we are to be completely dependent on so-called “DEFR” technologies, which have not been invented yet and as to which “significant uncertainties” exist...
