Funny part is windmills only work when the wind blows and solar only works when the sun shines.
But electric demand doesn’t seem to follow those rules....
So you either need massive energy storage, or backup fossil or nuke generators of equal capacity, right?
I’m all for green energy that actually works. We’ve got enormous hydroelectric potential in the form of thousands of existing dams in America. Hydro is also about as cheap as it gets. Hydro doesn’t stop unless you have too little water which is rare to the point of being negligible in much of the country. If you have too much water, the excess is dumped over the spillway and the turbines keep right on turning. They also create high dollar lake frontage property.
Naturally the greentards are in a desperate race to tear them out before anyone realizes what they’re doing.
And if the wind blows too hard they have to stop the windmills.
