‘Low intensity’: Green energy produces ‘ridiculously’ small amounts of electricity

President of the Centre of the American Experiment John Hinderaker has discussed his organisation’s report on how green energy is wounding the US.

“The fundamental problem is that wind and solar are incredibly low intensity sources,” Mr Hinderaker told Sky News host James Morrow.

“Even when they work, they produce ridiculously small amounts of electricity.”

Solar and Wind are niche industries,  and should never be used as a baseload power grid

Well, here, wind is successful, mainly because a calm day in ND is only a 10 MPH wind. We do have maybe a half dozen days in the year when there is calm (as reckoned elsewhere, <5 MPH), but hose are definitely the exception and not the rule. Wind ranks behind coal and produces 36% of the electricity here in ND, over 4300 Megawatts.
