The FERC – federal Energy Regulatory Commission has thousands of solar and wind projects that want to interconnect to the grid. But many of them are in development phase. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/06/17/ferc-reveals-interconnection-reforms-that-could-unleash-solar-energy-potential/

2022-06-01 Solar V. Wind In Tropical Africa
There are 2 problems with solar in the tropic zone. One is that there are a lot of very green trees that block the sunlight year round, and would have to be cut down to make room for the solar panels. Solar panels could be located in areas where there are no trees. But there

2022-05-20 EIA: Solar, Wind To Be Larger Sources
US EIA expects solar and wind to be larger sources of US electricity generation this summer. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/05/19/eia-expects-solar-wind-to-be-larger-sources-of-u-s-electricity-generation-this-summer/
2022-04-30 Texas Goes Big With Renewables
What’s amazing about Texas is that such a large amount of renewables, especially wind, has been brought online in the last decade. There’s over 30 GW of wind power alone. That’s like a dozen full size power plants. Also it’s amazing how much water is used by conventional thermal power plants. quote: << Reloj del

Wind Turbines Can Stabilize The Grid “Base”
It’s about time they *prove* that those cynics who claim that “the grid will never be able to run without fossil fuel plants” are just telling pants-on-fire lies! Demonstration of “virtual synchronous generator”. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/04/18/wind-turbines-can-stabilize-the-grid/
2022-03-28 Misinfo Derailing Wind, Solar Across US (NPR)
Misinformation, especially on Facebook and social media, is derailing renewable energy projects across the US. These fools are going to cause the planet to suffer greatly. https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1086790531/renewable-energy-projects-wind-energy-solar-energy-climate-change-misinformation

2021-08-25 Dems And Libs Rule With Fear: The Sky Is Falling!
From FB climate change group Geoff Goeggel Said, “Dems and Libs rule with fear: “The sky is falling! We’re all going to die! Unless you all do exactly what we say.” Then you said, “The climate is warming and some of it is man-made. Okay, but it is not gonna kill us.” I think you’ve

2021-07-22 Italian Studies On Flexible Renewables + Storage
Important Info What really angers me is the cynical propaganda that has been spread by the fossil fuel proponents that the electrical grid can’t be stable without “base load” from thermal power plants. This lie must be buried as soon as possible by research studies and as much proof as possible by real world experience.

2021-04-01 “We Need Base Load Generation” Myth
Rep. Rodney Davis (R – Illinois) said, (quoted from interview with Judy Woodruff on PBS Newshour, 2021 April 1, at about 22:00 point) “The problem is, we still have to have base load generating capacity. That means nuclear facilities that actually have zero emission just like the one in Clinton, Illinois. We also make sure
