[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should have moved to wind, solar and renewables years ago. Hopefully this will hasten the progress. [/quote]

Wind and solar are both unreliable.  But it sure feels great to virtue signal.[/quote]

Actually solar and wind out outperformed fossil fuels in the Texas disaster. Keep spreading the fake news!

[quote] During a brutal Texas cold snap last winter, Gov. Greg Abbott wrongly blamed wind and solar power for the state’s massive grid failure, which was vastly larger than California’s. In fact, renewables outperformed the grid operator’s forecast during 90 percent of the blackout, and in the rest, fell short by at most one-fifteenth as much as gas plants. Instead, other causes — such as inadequately weatherized power plants and natural gas shutting down because of frozen equipment — led to most of the state’s electricity shortages.[/quote]

Overall solar and wind are more reliable vs fossil fuels and nuclear as measure by System Average Interruption Duration Index. Germany with 50% renewable has 0.25 hours and the the US is 1.28 hours. More renewable sources means more reliability. [/quote]
