Death and taxes are guaranteed, so are rocketing power prices and power rationing once intermittent wind and solar are added to the grid.
Duplicating capital costs to destabilise and undermine a generating system that works, with one that only ‘works’ when the wind is blowing just right and the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, is just the beginning.
As a matter of mathematical certainty every single MW of wind or solar generating capacity has to be backed up with a MW of instantly dispatchable generating capacity from coal, gas, nuclear or (where available) hydro.
The cultists would add giant lithium batteries to that list. But batteries do not generate electricity, they store it and waste 20-30% of the energy that goes in in the transfer process. The cost is colossal; the amount of power stored and released is trivial, which is why mega-batteries are used at the margins…
