Frozen Wind Turbines in Texas Expose Major Flaw in Renewable Energy
|
From an article I just read.
"In addition, the storms knocked out nearly half the state’s wind power generation capacity on Sunday. Wind generation ranks as the second-largest source of electricity in Texas, accounting for 23 percent of state power supplies, ERCOT estimates." I'd say those renewable sources aren't working out so well. Regardless of how they were rendered useless they are not the answer for a primary source of power, or in this case just 23%. There is a house down the road from me that has solar panels covering their roof. They have been rendered useless in our weather pattern of one sunny day for every six days of almost complete cloud cover and rain. And it's been this way for several weeks. I believe they are still tied into the grid so they haven't lost anything but they're not gaining anything either. The sun is a powerful tool but only when it's available. The same with wind and hydro. No wind and no water= no power. |
