BY DAVID WOJICK: We are awash in urgent warnings that the electric power grid is increasingly prone to failure.
The good news is that renewables will be downgraded. The bad news is that what PJM proposes is nowhere near what we need to prevent catastrophic blackouts.
By Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling: As the four largest regional grid operators said in their report, “hope is not a strategy” when it comes to the nation’s power grid.
The renewables stampede has swamped PJM to the point where they have stopped approving new connections.
America's power grid is crumbling to third-world status.
BY J. Kennerly Davis: Transformers in short supply while demand artificially up.
The electric grid is sick and getting sicker.
There are 93 Reliability Standards that have been approved by FERC. It looks like none of them has anything to do with controlling the adverse impact of renewables upon reliability.
“Everything is tied to having electricity, and yet we’re not focusing on the reliability of the grid. That’s absurd, and that’s frightening.”
It has been one year since the devastating blackouts in Texas, so it’s time to examine whether Texas is in danger of repeating the disaster.
Wrecking the energy grid benefits no one but those seeking to cash in on wind and solar subsidies.
BY RON STEIN AND TODD ROYAL: Can the California grid handle the charging challenges for the electric vehicles it's pushing?
“At a certain point—and California seems to have reached it already—new solar PV does nothing to satisfy new peak net demand.”
To function, power grids require demand to exactly match supply, which is an enormous problem for variable wind and solar power.
Solar energy has five fatal flaws for supplying 24/7 grid power.
