“GreenThought” Orwellian Right Think quote of the day:

“We have to start thinking about different forms of reliability, for example, virtual power plants, basically solar plus batteries that actually can be more reliable in many ways than gas plants.”
– Leah Stokes, associate professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara

Solar panels + batteries are more reliable than natural gas ? ¿ ! i
Up is Down
War is Peace
2 + 2 = 5
CO2 is a pollutant
CO2 is an essential gas, it is plant food.
Much like oxygen is people food.
The Western woke war against natural gas is becoming totally unhinged.
====================
“Two-thirds of North America could face power shortages this summer during periods of extreme electricity demand and spiking temperatures, the nation’s grid reliability monitor warned Wednesday.
The North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) found that the number of regions with an “elevated risk” of power shortages has increased as temperatures rise and power plants retire.
In a worst-case combination of severe heat and unexpected generation outages, the western United States, most of Texas, and the Carolinas face a heightened risk of rolling power blackouts, NERC said.
… Leah Stokes, associate professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, a frequent commentator on climate policy, noted on the same call that the industry “screamed bloody murder” about previous EPA rules.
“’Oh my God, the lights will go out. We’ll never be able to do this. It will cost too much money.’ Don’t believe them,” Stokes said.
“We have to start thinking about different forms of reliability, for example, virtual power plants, basically solar plus batteries that actually can be more reliable in many ways than gas plants,” Stokes said.”
