California is awash in renewable energy -- except when it's most needed - WAPO

[NNadir]

4. In California, during the extreme heat wave, so called "renewable energy" was useless for weeks.

No matter how many stupid fantasies exist about storing energy, the expense and the mass, not to mention the awful environmental destruction involved, will not work, any more than the stupid fantasies that wind and solar energy could replace nuclear energy.

How fucking big would a hydrogen tank have to be to power California for weeks during an extreme heat wave? As big as Bakersfield? Maybe Mount Whitney?

One billion silly videos will not change the laws of thermodynamics.

If the "renewable energy to hydrogen" scheme had any merit - it doesn't - it would have advanced in the 20th century, when barely literate assholes like Amory Lovins started hyping it.

I didn't advance, it isn't advancing, and it won't advance on any scale to justify the money wasted on trying to make what doesn't work, work.

The renewable energy scam has failed, and failed dramatically, which is why the world is burning while people spend their time watching cartoons.
