For Texans and Australians It’s Breezes and Sunshine, or No Grid at All
9th April 2022
The Texans’ Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), and Australians are constantly being blown away with the growing “nameplate” capacity of wind turbines and solar panels to provide electricity, but electricity from renewables have yet to produce anywhere near their projected capacity due to the intermittency and unreliability of breezes and sunshine.
I have always thought that ERCOT was something one got from moldy bread.
