generators on an island where power outages are common.
If power
generator owners and governments had decreed that the most inefficient and most unreliable, most
costly power generation systems that could be conceived to generate power for our modern civilisation were to be the norm then the so called renewable energy systems of wind and solar along with highly inefficient fossil
fuel burning idling
generators as standby's when the renewables fail to produce power then it is doubtful that a more hopelessly inefficient and unreliable system could be devised for a civilisation that depends so utterly on having dead steady, totally reliable, at call power every second of every day to run that civilisation's entire very sophisticated structures
