The UK, Germany, Spain, etc., in Deep Wind Solar Do-Do
The Conservative and Labor elites, using the foghorn of the government-subsidized/controlled Corporate Media, brainwashed the people to vote for them for decades.
.
Now the people are paying though the nose, very high c/kWh, for all sorts of wind and solar systems disturbing the grid with variable, intermittent electricity, which caused blackouts in Spain/Portugal, and in many other places.
.
Eliminating rotating generators that provide SYNCHRONOUS inertia is a death sentence for the grid.
Wind and solar provide NO SYNCHRONOUS inertia, because their outputs are digitized, then reconstituted into an artificial sine wave in phase with grid.
.
The irregular outputs of weather-dependent wind and solar fed to the grid often create transmission faults.
Those faults can be minimized with synchronous condenser systems to provide reactive power to the grid.
.
Al traditional power plants provide reactive power TO the grid
Wind and solar take reactive power FROM the grid
.
Any energy systems analyst would know Iberia-like problems would eventually happen, before even a single wind and solar system were connected, but naive, woke enviros do not want to listen to the pros.
.
Full speed ahead over the cliff you go, unless all this wind, solar, battery nonsense is stopped dead by taking away subsidies.
Net Zero to reduce CO2 by 2050 is a very expensive suicide pact.
We need higher CO2 ppm in the atmosphere for increased greening of the world, to support abundant fauna, and to increase crop yields to feed 8 billion people.

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.
