It’d be fine if we could put electricity in shoe boxes. (Wind power is 98% unreliable)Australia now has nearly 10GW of wind power installed on the National Electricity Grid, but look at the monthly minimums — the guaranteed power we can rely on. The good news is that it’s increased by 10% over this time last year. The bad news is that it was only 216MW.From the 10,000MW of windpower we paid to install, at one point in the last month only 2% was working, and that’s not unusual.The true dismal story of wind power is that we need a near total second network of generators just sitting around waiting as back up. Since the back up is reliable, we could use them instead. As a bonus, backup power won’t kill birds, bats and hypnotize crabs and it won’t destroy sleep for farmers and spotted quolls, and it doesn’t create a national security risk either. Handy, eh?https://joannenova.com.au/2022/04/wind-power-is-98-unreliable-itd-be-fine-if-we-could-put-electricity-in-shoe-boxes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wind-power-is-98-unreliable-itd-be-fine-if-we-could-put-electricity-in-shoe-boxes
