Solar now accounts for over 50% of new electricity capacity added to the U.S. grid

Excess solar power is a great problem to have - easily remedied, which will happen very quickly. When it does, I expect all of you to simply let this overhyped narrative simply fade away.

 

I've also discussed rate structures with charging of EVs. During solar peaks, the power companies could easily provide an advantageous usage rate, and more than likely solve this problem without any infrastructure changes. Utilities could even make an APP available that allows them to indirectly control when the EV charges.

That said, some power companies are "anti-renewables", although they'll publicly state the opposite, and they will blow this out of proportion.

 

AI power demands will doom any transition to renewables.
The Looming Electrical Power Shortage
By Steve Goreham
The green energy transition will be sacrificed in favor of generating enough electrical power.

 

Your misleading replies hurts everyone since you continue to ignore the rising prices due to them being part of the mix since the back ups are still running since ruinables are irregular and sometimes absent when wind drops off and cloudy days and no sun at night.

Wind and solar can't replace 24/7 power generation at all.

 

Your lack of imagination continues to underwhelm

 

Your lack of a cogent counterpoint convinced everyone else that you have no argument to offer.

 

I’ve made my point. Your argument is moot. When every state starts getting 70% of their power from renewables, like Iowa, then we can discuss the limitations that you are railing about.

 

Your lack of a cogent counterpoint convinced everyone else that you have no argument to offer.

 

The energy counter-transition has begun.

The Climate Cult Reacts As Its Political Position Begins To Slip
May 05, 2024/ Francis Menton

• 
  For two decades and more, the political position of the climate alarm cult in the U.S. and Europe has only seemed to strengthen with time.
  
  
• In the U.S., the Obama and Biden Administrations have both pushed huge regulatory initiatives to restrict use of fossil fuels (with only some modest roll-backs during Trump’s four years); some of the most sweeping restrictions got pushed through just a week ago.
  
  
• Meanwhile, blue states like California and New York have enacted ever-more-extreme restrictions by statute. In Europe, there has been a near all-party political consensus in favor of the “net zero” agenda, notably including even the mainstream conservative parties in the largest countries like the UK and Germany.
  
  
• I have long said that sooner or later a combination of physical reality and cost would stop the “net zero” juggernaut in its tracks.

Again, you’re missing the point. Wind and solar don’t need to provide 24/7 today. Get to 70% everywhere else, like Iowa. Reach that milestone first, then let’s talk 24/7.
