Not exact matches

Matt Ridley, for example, in his recent book, The Rational Optimist, argues that the oil sands are a much more sane solution to current energy needs than things like wind (too unreliable and too little output) and biofuels (wasteful use of land).

Now the western climate alarmists are so damn dumb that they think that somehow wind has got more reliable after 400 years of getting rid of wind power for the very reasons of it's abysmally low and completely unpredictable and unreliable power output in what was an industrializing society.

wind and solar do not replace fossil fuel generation, as that has to be maintained at and close to previous levels to cater for power needs when the unreliable, unpredictable wind and solar generation systems go off line or fail or just don't produce much power.

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

Since we began in December 2012, we have added to our concerns the economic and social harm caused by rocketing power prices and unreliable power supplies, the product of heavily subsidised and intermittent wind power: the results that have played out in Australia's wind power capital, South Australia, will cripple that State at an economic and social level for decades to come.

Ontario contracted for far too much intermittent and unreliable wind and solar power creating a domino effect the increased our costs of generation.

The supply is unreliable, although more consistent than wind generation which is notoriously unreliable and thermal, nuclear, or hydro power (if available) is required to carry sufficient reserve in the grid system to compensate for any changes in solar plant output due to any changes in sunlight during the day.

The taxpayers who paid for the subsidies to build the wind farms, then paid over the odds for an unreliable source of power generation will ultimately be left to pick up the bill for clearing up the Green eco mess.

Fossil fuels take a naturally dirty environment and make it clean; they take a naturally dangerous climate and make it safer; the sun and wind are intermittent, unreliable fuels that always need backup from a reliable source of energy — usually fossil fuels; and, fossil fuels are the key to improving the quality of life for billions of people in the developing world.

The wind industry rushed to Ontario to enjoy the largesse of government support via a government program that granted above - market payments for intermittent and unreliable power.

Sound the death knell for unreliable energy — wind / solar — as a fanciful baseload alternative to fossil fuels!

AS long as Left - wing / socialist governments can borrow and use other peoples» money for ideological «green» symbolism, the economic rot of unreliables — wind and solar power — fed by a collective climate change madness, will continue unchallenged, despite what the majority of people want over the eco-elites and the > 25 year - old social justice warriors.

It may be that revenues will come entirely from capacity markets — payments for being ready to produce power on demand — but unreliable wind and solar will lose that competition to reliable conventional generators.

Wind and solar are intermittent and unreliable methods for generating electricity that requires backup, usually with natural gas turbines, which increases costs.

The fact is that over the last five years, wind power has added more new electric generating capacity in the USA than coal and nuclear combined — in spite of the fact that both coal and nuclear have enjoyed large, and permanent public subsidies, while subsidies for wind have been small, short - term and therefore unreliable.

Big Oil is also Big Gas (the two fossil fuels often come from the same wells) and gas is the ideal fuel for backing up unreliable wind and solar power.

Nevertheless, the CPP will cause states, taxpayers, and energy consumers to get stiffed with huge cost burdens, including capital - intensive, decades - long transitions needed for adding expensive and unreliable wind and solar infrastructures, coal plant retirements and upgrades, restructured transmission lines, and new natural gas pipelines.

Instead, billions have been squandered on unreliable wind and solar power which can only ever be a supplement for gas, rather than a free - standing source of energy.
