Robert,

I’ll say one thing about “woke”. Before it went all wrong on HAMAS, it did shine a light on the millions of racist roaches hiding in dark places. And many of the assumptions even liberals held in their heads. Old movies started making me cringe. I questioned how my life experience was so different from so many…

France has done a good job with their small nuke plants plus solar/wind/hydro. They only use fossil fuel for 6% of their electricity and are net exporters. They have to do tons of repairs and maintenance of their reactors. Stress fractures of the cooling systems are always happening.

I swear I don’t trust Americans with dangerous tech anymore.…[Read more]

Reg and Robert,

I’m not an engineer myself, but I know from having an automobile inverter that inverters require cooling to function properly. This, in turn requires electric motors either to run fans and/or compress and pump coolant for air conditioning systems. This both detours power away from DC systems and means more moving parts at the…[Read more]

Thanks Robert….I am not very knowledgeable about this area but I did discuss it last week with a engineer, recently returning from this project with a lot of cash!! 🙂

I agree Reg, a bank of capacitors or rechargeable batteries could supply synthetic inertia you speak of, so it’s probably just a cost thing. It’s not like carbon-based power generation is immune to failures. The big power outages in Texas a few years ago were due to cold weather and widespread failures in the natural gas infrastructure, which is…[Read more]

While I am not an electrical engineer, I had a discussion with one recently. Yes, traditional AC power from big turbines have a reserve of kinetic energy from the rotation of their turbines. Their spinning mass can resist any sudden frequency changes for a short time and this gives the grid inertia that stabilizes the frequency and gives control…[Read more]

Say it ain’t so, Greta!!! The Spain/Portugal outage was caused by going 100% renewable energy?

Zionist entity and zionist scientist who aint lyin to us.

Woke?

Aware instead of oblivious, uncaring and lascivious. Cartoons and old movies are filled with wanton violence, shitshow stereotypes, bigotry? The tenor of history? Classisim. Racism and how its systemic. Misogyny. Group-think. How every good cause is coopted by pseudo intellectuals and nefarious groups and converted into a fucking stinking…[Read more]
