So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates

Some good news in the UK...

You think so? I guess they'll find out if it's really a good thing. They'll just have to hope the wind blows when they need it to.
 
Your chosen article says that 42% of electricity is produced by windmills and solar, and that electricity is 18% of total energy requirements. So the 'renewables' produce about 7.5% of total energy. Hard to see that getting to 100. There wouldn't be any land or sea left.
 
The 3rd year in a row, the Co2 gases have forced and maintained a high pressure area above Wa state causing the latest heat extreme.
What are the odds of that? No it can't be more of the same ole geoengineering can it? Ever since 2021 this has happened right along with all the other never happened before issues.
 

or have enough batteries? I think they are needed for wind, and if it's cloudy, for solar.

It's a start hokie... more likely to follow...

I guess one could argue that CO2 increases the battery capacity of the atmosphere. It causes the atmosphere to store more energy to keep those wind turbines spinning more regularly.

Batteries don’t work for grid level storage. Batteries are good at buffering electrical supply for minutes at a time. Not for storing days worth of electrical power.
 
Not sure...

We should move this on to Part IX...
