Let’s start with
energy from the sun.
|
|
Wind turbines
are beautiful expressions of engineering art.
|
|
Some
organizations promote renewable energy as the ultimate greenhouse gas
solution.
|
|
They invariably
avoid telling us the rotation of the
earth and the vagaries of weather make both solar and wind energy
intermittent and unreliable.
|
|
They don’t
mention fossil and nuclear generators take up the slack when wind turbines
are taking a break.
|
|
They don't tell
us extensive reliance on renewables requires expensive excess capacity,
storage systems and alternate generation.
|
|
Establishing
those systems will compel us to use even more energy thanks to the
inefficiencies introduced.
