The wind and solar power myth has finally been exposed
SUMMARY
The author claims that net zero emissions goals in the US and UK rely on insufficiently effective renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.
They highlight the impracticality of storing surplus electricity, as capacities often drop significantly. Governments have been supporting fossil fuel stations to manage inconsistencies from renewables, which leads to increased operating costs and inefficiencies.
The author believes without a reliable storage solution, achieving net zero is impossible. Nuclear energy is posited as the only viable source for consistent, low-emission power. Ultimately, they argue that relying on wind and solar without sufficient backup is futile.
