Germany's "Green" Energy Fail-- Rescued By Coal And Gas
Weather's bad and they have to revert back to coal and gas for electric due to cold and snow.
Green is not a good choice to completely rely on ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ https://www.zerohedge.com/technology...d-coal-and-gas Quote:

Where is Greta, frozen on a sailboat?
I’ve a solution. Shove a steam pipe into Washington DC and AOC and the green crew can sit on it and fuel the US |

No country should rely on any one energy source to start with. Using solar and wind as primary isn't a horrible idea but keep the plants on standby, what a bunch of dumbasses.

Keeping coal, natural gas, or especially nuclear power plants on standby ready to start any time would be incredibly expensive and would make no sense.

Still not cost effective for a number of reasons. You can’t just shut one down, lock it up, and then start it back up quickly. It would take constant maintenance, and qualified operators aren’t sitting around waiting for jobs. If you have to staff and maintain it you might as well run it.

This is what happens when you allow a child...or someone who has the logic and intelligence of a child (e.g. the aforementioned AOC) to spearhead protests about complicated problems using simplistic solutions that are not well thought out. As far as AOC is concerned, she worked in a bar and that gives her all she needs to know in order to solve global issues. Greta is little more than a petulant child whose parents are so taken by her that they allow her to run their lives. Sadly...these are the type of people being elected to congress, so the public is just as stupid. |

for gas fired micros, there is on-off to stage, time to ramp up to speed, then back down. how about we use an automotive analogy. get in your car. park on the side of the road with the engine running for a few hours. then, put it in gear and floor it for ten minutes. at the end of ten minutes, coast then park. repeat. every, day. see how much the car likes it, and how many mpg you get. |
