The disaster that is solar energy

T. A. Gardner

California, on occasion, is now producing too much solar energy. The True Believers would have you believe that's a good thing. But the reality is it's not. What happens is that electricity has to go somewhere and what California has to do to get rid of it is bribe other states to take it off their hands. So, Californians get higher electric bills--not just because of the cost of the solar arrays and duplication of generation--because the state is paying other states to take electricity off their hands.

Germany has been in this position for a couple of decades now. Their neighbors won't always take the power either and German attempts to dump on them has resulted in their disconnecting their grids from Germany.


Arizona, where I live, is the big winner in that getting something like $100 million in free electricity paid for by California. Thanks California!

Liquid Aire.

Use it to power EVs that are not toxic Lithium bombs.

Use the unused over capacity to store energy during the day, and use it in morning and evening rush hour commutes.

The Brits are doing it, and it works.

It is not toxic, expensive, low reliability, and starts fires, like Lithium Battery EVs.

Its kinda an obvious "Well Dugh!"

British electricity is super expensive....that is not working.

It is about providing alternatives to the dwindling supply of oil and gasoline. Overall, the combo of excess renewable electricity sources being used to power commuter transport is working, allot better than the extremely expensive, short lived, Toxic Lithium Batteries.

You can be sour on it, and the rest of us will move on.

There is no dwindling supply of carbon fuels, and that is not the reason we are being pushed off of them.

This is a good technology that does work well. Right after this I am going to post a meme as to why our "green government" has done nothing worthwhile in that endeavor, and why it will come to be this administration.

Doesn't work. Intermittent excess power is an issue that can't be resolved. A "smart grid" won't do it as Germany discovered. Wind and solar cannot be used reliably for base loading yet the Left keeps trying to do exactly that. British wind and solar, just as in Germany, Australia, California, and everywhere it has been pushed is a disaster in the making.

7-8 times more expensive, and much less reliable is what the overlords are forcing us into, based upon lies.

WOKE is absolutely a Death Cult.

Why doesn't it work?

You just spewing negative B.S.!

If you are just making Liquid Aire as stored energy, you don't need with a large source, or or a constant source. You can make Liquid Aire with sources as small as a 1KW and lasting only five minutes at a time, and the energy will be there when you need it, six months later.

Grow up!

Storage isn't necessary with conventional generation. Even "Liquid Aire" whatever that is, requires some sort of storage facility and a fairly immense one given you are storing energy on the scale of megawatts to make it useful. You also need a means to convert that energy back into electricity.

It's easier to build say, a natural gas turbine plant and just generate what you need when you need it than build a solar plant, a massive storage facility, and then a second generating system to use the stored energy.
