This video is important because it shows that the electrical engineers’ claims that the grid must have rotating inertia has been superceded by electronics and software – grid forming inverters. Starting at about the 10:00 point she tells us about grid forming inverters as opposed to rotating inertia such as synchronous condensers. In the last

I always wondered how these were made. https://www.facebook.com/reel/2243029362808318/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
Link to video showing what I commented on below. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1193757159114428/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e Did you notice that there are only two conductors going to the pylon in the background? That means this is a DC powerline. And there are six conductors in each bundle. That’s extremely high current, over 5000 amps. But the really amazing thing you can

This is a short video. The insulator strings each have 30 insulators. That’s several hundred kilovolts AC. Each of the three phases has a bundle of four conductors. That’s a very large amount of power!! https://www.facebook.com/reel/552027003839740/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
These are in China. He talks about ten thousand volts. However those huge cables are carrying 700,000 volts! At thousands of amps! That ginormous amount of power would vaporize a person in an instant! https://www.facebook.com/100009308115158/posts/pfbid02nRTQveERffC2ZLGMzk5UPKnZhmXrhn6BZ5HLJ8krc8B2uqzUYJ38kUpLEzWs9buFl/?mibextid=Nif5oz
Windy so lots of wind turbines. They have 65 gigawatts of generation connected to the network. https://www.facebook.com/tomscott/videos/1683183565559839/?mibextid=9drbnH
Notice the second worker clamping the conductor into that hexagonal ring. Wow! Each conductor is the size of his wrist! But it’s even more amazing there are *six* of them in each bundle! There are 3 or 6 of the bundles, and each bundle is held up by hugh insulators. Each bundle of 6 conductors

Each point of the link is debunked. Top 10 Reasons All-Electric Is a Bad Idea #1.) “”Electric systems are awfully wasteful.”” This assumes that all electrical power is generated by thermal power plants. Yes, 2/3 of the energy used to heat the steam goes to waste and only one third gets to produce electricity. But

The US has a huge amount of land with a very good supply of wind, and this has been developed with a large amount of WTs – wind turbines. Iowa has a lot of WTs, but Texas is the WT leader by far, with over 30 Gigawatts of installed WTs. Installing WTs is relatively easy
