The Lone Star state invested in solar and have 3x the capacity they had last year. The fossil fuel behemoth has so far avoided the predicted rolling blackouts.

Local Texas news reports 20,000 megawatts of renewable energy of the record setting 81,000 megawatts.
 
So………. it didn’t help at all?
Tootsie McDuck, I was not nor am I disagreeing. Only stated the facts. I believe that we need wind and solar for exactly these reasons like Texas is seeing. But I do not believe it will ever totally replace fossil fuel with renewables.
 
You are correct. I googled it and the media gave me 12 articles to chose from. I wish they only gave happy feel good stories.
What I read was in Sunday's WSJ. Read that one. The Wall Street Journal is a legit source.

I don't understand why people would be against solar power, it's like hating puppies or something.

Nobody is against solar, but people now understand that it and Wind has been sold like Snake Oil as a replacement for our energy needs....which it isn't and probably never will be.
 
No one believes that wind and solar power will solely power our country. Green alternatives need to be gradually introduced as an alternative to fossil fuels.

On 60 Minutes last night, a story about an island in the Bahamas that was devastated by a hurricane and they rebuilt with a 15 acre solar panel field that is now powering the entire island.

Can you link to one of your 3242342342353532423 sources ...let's say a few people that realistically claim that wind and solar would be 100% of all energy?

That's just something Big Oil uses to get you rubes to buy in.
 
Literally no one on this board has ever stated or implied that we can get rid of all fossil fuels and go wind and solar only, but that doesn’t keep MG from talking down to everyone and putting words in our mouth. A very insecure individual.

Where did I put words in anyone's mouths??? I said People now understand that Green energy can't fully meet our needs. I never in anyway named anyone on this board at all in my reply.

The insecure and narcissistic personality types tend to personalize all lines of discussions and topics and then want to label their own deficiencies on others ie...scapegoating/projection.

Thanks Dr. Phil
 




So you have a 'can power most' and another using WATER which wasn't part of the convo.

Nice try, captain fail

So now your playing semantics that 90 to a 100 percent isn't doesn't fit the narrative we do away with all fossil fuels and as far as I know hydro power is considered green energy and green energy is part of the convo......

no you made a claim and tried to make an end run around the truth.

With ALL types of non-renewables we COULD get to zero carbon energy sources.

It won't happen but it is viable.
