Grid integration has always been an issue.

Deep State doesn’t care.

Another factor not mentioned here is that the greater the percentage of highly variable generation (wind), the more difficult it becomes to maintain steady voltage on the system. At some point, it becomes literally impossible.

Very the voltage too much, and you ruin a lot of your customers electronic devices, and disrupt critical and dangerous industrial processes.

People have no idea how complicated maintaining that balance is.

A primary causal factor of this affliction always begins with censorship and political muzzling of freedom of speech online and in media.

Electrical devices are designed to run on smooth power. We get that from coal powered and nat gas powered plants. This process works and has worked well for decades. But our do-gooder govt types have to come in and screw up the process.

We have nuclear power and pumped storage and no blackouts in East Tennessee.

That is supplemented by gas and coal and of course hydro electric facilities

California’s buildout of wind and solar farms is exceeding the ability of its grid to handle.

That doesn’t sound right a few years ago a news story complained that California gave Arizona the power they couldn’t handle and had to buy it back from Arizona as needed.

WTH

Happy for you but I meant last year and this year plus the projections. Other states are reading about Newsom’s “rolling blackouts” and hope they don’t spread to them.

Plus my humor is satirical and not meant to diagnose, treat or cure any disease except wokism.😇

Dude, if you can treat or cure "wokism", do me a favor and cure STUPID. Ignorance can be cured by learning - STUPID seems to be forever. Let me know when your company "STUPID STOPPED" goes public. I'll buy in.

A deal.😇

Although that mission is like Sisyphus pushing the rock.

The science fiction writer A.E. Van Vogt (quote from him: “The right to buy weapons is the right to be free”)
said in a nonfiction book that it is futile and time wasting to try to change the mind of an adult. They think they have considered your alternative and discarded it as useless. They have made up their minds and only get annoyed by your trying to enlighten them.

FYI. They are running now on Amazon streaming channels. We are watching “Hell’s Kitchen” currently and they are on every night.
