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

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/
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

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

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.

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

This article shows that the institution can maximize its renewable energy impact by buying renewable electricity from out of state. The Uni proves it’s a great idea. https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/wind-power/to-maximize-emission-cuts-this-boston-campus-gets-its-power-from-the-midwest/
The anti-wind turbine NIMBYs will try to grasp at any excuse to get rid of wind turbines. One myth is that they cause heating and climate change. Not true. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/myth-debunked-wind-farms-dont-alter-climate-180949701/ More anti-wind turbine rebuttals: 2021-04-19 << DISCUSSIONS Michael Goggin on Sep 9, 2011 Hi Willem, It is unfortunate to see people continuing to propagate the

This 4.7 min. TED Talk Youtube video dispels the myth that solar and wind can’t do the job without “base load” power. Amory Lovins is with the US NREL, and is an authority on this subject. He also states that renewables are less expensive than fossil or nuclear power. https://youtu.be/Oo8iEL6SqgI
