For 50 Years, Eco-Alarmism Has Left A Wake Of Destruction
wind farm power linesFour million homes went without power in Texas. Will the self-inflicted power grid blackouts in Texas finally throw cold water on the fantasy of alternative and intermittent renewable energy as a replacement to the miracle of hydrocarbon fuels? It should.
Cold weather completely shut down wind turbines which supply over 20 percent of Texan’s energy needs and partially shut-down natural-gas and coal-powered plants which were running at about half capacity just when energy demands skyrocketed.
While winterizing the grid was not foreseeable, especially for a hundred-year weather event, even for Monday morning quarterbacks, it is a stark reminder of the intermittent energy supply of sun and wind which require battery storage.
