just a fairy tale in the minds of dreamers at this point in time , come back in mabe 10 years and have a look at it again

Since Chuck is having a bad day anyways...
I thought we were replacing reliable electricity generation with unreliable wind and solar because the former were causing drought and climate change, and the wind and solar were going to return earth's weather back to the panacea we enjoyed before climate change started. New peer reviewed literature suggests that it is actually the latter that are causing droughts.

As a conclusion, it can be said that it is certain that wind farms change the local climate. Very large wind farms or many wind farms also have an effect on the global climate. The results are mostly based on simulation models, whereby the study by Zhou et al. (2013), which was able to draw on comparative data, confirms the results found in the simulation models. The new study by Wang et al. (2023), which we discussed today, confirms the model calculations using real data obtained from a Chinese wind farm and shows for the first time that soil moisture is reduced by wind farms not only downwind but also upwind.

Wind farms thus contribute significantly to the drying out of soils, and to drought

But it is based mostly on simulations models, so it is probably nothing.

California is making the most use of that free sun and wind.

Comparisons of their rates by percent increase and actual values.


California may be the most suitable place in the world for renewables.
Very predictable moderate weather in the high population areas.
No extreme spikes in demand for air con or heat.
Rooftop residential produces predictably yead round.
Cheap BLM land near the population areas for near unlimited unopposed expansion.

Yet they still have the above economic issues that are predicted to get worse.

How can that be expected to work here under out extreme conditions?

Look at Hawaii, that’s why we noticed almost every residential roof in Maui was practically covered by solar panels.

Almost $175B in resource projects cancelled on Trudeaus watch. Imagine where the countrys GDP would be today.

Some real dumbasses in the country to vote for this 2 times.

You know how Chuck keeps telling us to take our complaints to the various electricity authorities and regulators and producers because they obviously know what they are doing and wouldn't be destroying the reliable fossil fuel powered grid to replace it with something that doesn't work.
Well, as it turns out, the US Senate did ask, and yes they would. FERC, is warning them about the catastrophic consequences to the reliability of the grid.

But what would the Federal energy regulator commission possibly know about the reliability of electrical grids. Obviously Chuck is much smarter than them, and has far more experience.

Chuck, here is your chance to turn over a new leaf. Someone has done exactly what you keep asking for, and asked the questions of the relevant authorities. Do you care to comment?

So is Alberta's AESO saying that grid stability in Alberta is at risk because of all the renewables?

Alberta is leading Canada in installing a lot of renewables.

Saskatchewan is also installing significant renewable capacity.

So if it is a big risk why are the authorities and utilities letting it happen?

You didn't read the article, did you?

[chuckChuck]

No. Does it apply to Alberta with their specific situation?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

You didn't read the article, did you?

The commission literally debunked your call to authority argument.
They are the authority.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

No. Does it apply to Alberta with their specific situation?

Do you think that there is something really unique about Alberta's climate, geography, latitude, peak demand, etc?
Something that would make Alberta immune to the catastrophic failures that are being forecast, and already taking place in warm sunny places without winter whose peak demand is air conditioning season such as Texas and california?
Or should we repeat the experiment here where we get winter, and peak demand coincides with peak darkness, and the wind stops blowing for days at a time during the coldest weather?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

No. Does it apply to Alberta with their specific situation?

And in the spirit of being polite and respectful, I appreciate your honesty and actually admitting that you do not actually read the article before discounting it.
How is seeding going?

[shtferbrains]

Maybe when you come on in the morning you can respectfully explain how this data works in with the transition to much more expensive and much quicker obsolescence of EV's.
Average age 12.5 yrs.
How long do batteries last?
5yr max warranty?

"According to data collected by S&P Global Mobility, the average age of passenger vehicles on the road has reached a record high of 12.5 years. This trend, which began in 2017, has accelerated in a post-Covid world as new car prices soared due to shortages, and more recently, borrowing costs have skyrocketed, causing an affordability crisis. However, this trend might also suggest automobile manufacturers are producing higher-quality vehicles that break down less often."

"This is the sixth straight year of increase in the average vehicle age of the US fleet. It also reflects the highest yearly increase since the 2008-2009 recession, which caused an acceleration in average age beyond its traditional rate due to the sharp decline in new-vehicle sales demand," S&P Global Mobility pointed out.

Does this mean only a small percentage of the population will be able to afford automobiles and the rest will ride public transit with the meth-heads?

Academic Vegetation…. Creating a huge fire load…. When this energy disaster being planned kills 100’s of Millions….of humanity…. From what ever catastrophic collapse this folly creates….

The WEF, UN, Chinese, Club of Rome, BLM…. Etc….

Will smirk and lie like Trudeau, Biden, Carl Schwab’s anarchism that is deceiving humanity in to embracing as the intelligent solution .

Evolution, no spiritual life…. The existential threat of global warming…. All deceptive distractions…. Just like Covid.

Blessings and Prayers…
