| Everybody here understands what a system is and understands how to do the math and what the tradeoffs are except you, chum. Your arrogance is still not a substitute for truth. I notice you've backed off even further from your claims of needing 1200GW of inflexible thermal generation that isn't even useful for peaking (not that this will stop you from posting them again). Here's yet another example in the comment chain: > Sure, you did the math for local solar only. > But if you add in existing hydro + nuclear, a good proportion of wind (which is more consistent and stronger at night), some good long distance interconnects, and a modicum of storage, the number comes out a lot smaller. > Here's the math: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262545044/electrify/ > It comes up with a 20% overbuild. Yet another example of someone pointing out your straw man. Then you arrogantly insulting them. Everyone you're talking down to has either done the math, or read journals by competent people who have. |
Wow.
I can't imagine what aspect of your life drives you to behave in this manner.
Please stop chasing me around HN to insult me. OK? You can disagree with me all you want. Just stop with this troublesome behavior. It isn't healthy.
