Simplify the grid by eliminating wind and solar, the energy parasites:)
It seems that wind and solar power can only survive as parasites on the more efficient conventional generators. Lars Schernikau and William Smith have explained this unpopular truth in a slim and elegant book that demolishes some of the most cherished beliefs of the climate and energy warriors in the alternative universe.
It is a scholarly tour de force, combining the depth and detail of a doctoral thesis with crystal clear writing. This is a rare combination. People who don’t need the full story can get what they need to know from the beautifully illustrated 24-minute video produced to promote the revised edition.
I was surprised when I started looking into what was being planned and built.
Most projects that start the planning process aren’t built. I have been a project developer and I called myself a professional brainstormer sometimes. We dreamed up a lot of things that did not have all the puzzle pieces available to fall into place when needed.

Thanks for your comments and insights. It will be a long road back to get wind and solar out ERCOT where I live.
