This is claiming that the grid will be overloaded, but that claim is contradicted by the latest figures that show the grid has use 1% **less** electricity. The following URL claims that the grid will not be able to handle the growing load. This would be true *if* the grid was the only source of

At the end he said “… keeping the grid in balance with millions of tons of spinning inertia.” Well, this is now being simulated by the electronics in the battery energy storage systems and other electronics. It’s called VMM – virtual machine mode. Soon, there will be very few thermal power plants left after all

Rosie Barnes *debunks* the myth that Electric Vehicles will crash the grid – she shows that EVs will charge during the daytime and power the grid during the dark. 1 min. YouTube video.

The EIA tells about how California’s excess solar energy is being curtailed. The solar should *not* be curtailed if excess capacity is the sole reason. CAISO should be mandated to curtail fossil fuel power plants before curtailing renewables, obviously because renewables are preventing fossil fuels from having to be burned and hence reducing the amount

First, the Prime Directive: The release of GHGs – greenhouse gases – by humans into the atmosphere must be stopped. Burning fossil fuels for industry and transportation make up a major part of those GHGs. Fossil fuels must be replaced by fuels that add no GHGs to the atmosphere. Hydrogen is one choice. I want
