According to ISO-NE, It Isn't Intermittent Resources Like Wind and Solar, It's the " Intermittent Climate "

  

Statement From ISO-NE, June 1.2022

"Though ISO New England expects the region to have adequate supplies of electricity this summer, conditions could force system operators to take action to maintain system reliability. ISO New England operators have many tools at their disposal to maintain the overall reliability of the power system. These well-established procedures protect the region in the event of an unexpected power plant or transmission line outage, an extended heat wave that results in increased consumer demand, fuel supply issues, or emissions limitations that affect the amount of electric generation available, or a combination of these factors."

"Procedures to deal with such issues include importing emergency power from neighboring regions, calling on power system reserves, and asking businesses and residents to voluntarily conserve energy. In severe events, system operators may be forced to call for controlled power outages to protect the overall grid. Climate change has caused weather to become more volatile and less predictable, increasing the potential for system operators to resort to these actions."

PROVE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE DID INDEED CAUSE THE WEATHER TO BE MORE VOLATILE AND LESS PREDICTABLE IN NEW ENGLAND

If you, ISO-NE, gave no proof, that statement should be deleted from the press release.

It could well be some PR clown added that statement to show the world his wacky, non-critical-thinking wokeness

Note to ISO-NE: It is far better to reman silent than to utter a press release that advertises to the whole world how incredibly stupid you really are.

"If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes."

That use to be a common saying in New England, but now it's politically incorrect.  Weather no longer exists, everything is climate change.  If you can't sleep soundly at night, it's climate change.  The new World Coyote, everything is blamed on climate change.  The world will end soon due to climate change.  Children are raised on this fear and the vision of hell on earth.  I'm all for treading lightly, but so far these idiots haven't come up with any science based energy solutions.  Just fear mongering and promising to carpet the planet, including our oceans,  beneath silicone panels and wind turbines.  Remember Texas and the frozen wind turbines, and the elderly who froze to death.  Will we ever learn?

I'm sure they'll have a lot of Kool-Aid on hand for the hottest days -- seems they've been already drinking a lot of it.

It's called weather.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
