Exposing The Wind And Solar Power Myth: The Necessary Miracle Doesn’t Exist
nuclear plant pennsylvaniaMany governments in the Western world have committed to “net zero” emissions of carbon in the near future. The US and UK both say they will deliver by 2050.

These plans have a single, fatal flaw: they are reliant on the pipe dream that there is some affordable way to store surplus electricity at scale.
