Scientists from the University of East Anglia found wind and solar power can’t compete with conventional electricity without economical energy storage systems that don’t exist.

The research published Friday concludes without economical energy storage systems, wind and solar power simply aren’t that useful due to their unreliability and intermittent nature. The study argues the money used to financially support wind and solar power should be spent supporting research into bringing down the costs of energy storage.

“We need sufficient storage and more investment in storage systems in order for renewable energy to reach its full potential,” said Dr. Konstantinos Chalvatzis, co-author of the paper, in an press statement emailed to The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Subsidies would encourage investment, which in turn would enable further integration of renewables into the energy sector.”

'Green' Energy.which is not really green at all, is ineffective as it cannot compete in the marketplace.

The most natural substance known to man that can provide energy remains hydrocarbons, whether oil, gas or coal.

All were given Man by his Creator to use as he wishes while on this earth.

They are plentiful, supplied by natural means(it ain't called 'natural' gas for nothing) and there for Man's taking.
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington
