Well its December again and those who think renewables don't work never aknowledge that intermittent renewables work very well for significant periods of the year without burning fossil fuels of any type thus reducing carbon emmisions which is why they are used.
Will they replace fossil sources without some sort of storage or conversion to ammonia, hydrogen, pumped hydro, or batteries? No and we have known that for a long time.
In Quebec and Manitoba renewable hydro covers nearly all their electricity needs.
Renewable Hydro works nearly 100% of the time. Canada's electricity supply is made up of 60% renewable hydro already.
Wind and solar are very low cost options to supplement the electricity supply.
In some paces the wind blows nearly all the time and can provide a relatively steady supply of electricity. Both the UK and Denmark have a lot of wind capacity. So do several of the maritime provinces have lots of wind capacity to be devloped.
Alberta is installing very significant amounts of solar and wind because it makes economic sense.
Do you really think the AESO can't manage the supply with so many intermittments?
You would think they have a plan to make sure it works before the let it get installed? Nah that wouldn't make sense would it? LOL
