Wow, there's literally not a single accurate sentence in your comment. Not a single one!

I'm stopping here since you don't seem to be interested in facts at all.

Read the report and tell me that the cause is renewables and not reactive power through a Swiss cheese model of mismanagement.

And then you deny the local law in my jurisdiction, because you can’t accept the outcome.

Then you say that this FERC requirement for renewables managing reactive power from 2016 does not exist.

Then you say that storage does not exist on any relevant scale. While this is reality.

Why are you so afraid of renewables and storage? Why can’t you stay with the truth?

You may believe that copy pasting sources that have been given to you by a sicophantic chatbot and that you didn't read makes you look smarter.

But this is also wrong.

Please go ahead and tell me where I am wrong, give us some sources. Be my guest.
You're not going to read them, so why bother since you live in a parallel universe. But if you wanted, you could ask your chatbot so you don't have to put the efforts to read anything.
You do realize that it’s quite telling that you still haven’t been able to point out a single of these ”falsehoods” nor been able to provide any factual information of your own?

Brandolini's law. And I'm not going to spend any effort with someone who use "sources" they haven't even read…

I'm not afraid of them. I'm afraid of people making wrong decisions based on idealistic views of technologies.

Renewable (outside of hydro) are a very good complement to fossil fuels. And they are a key tool to half emissions from electricity production in most of the world where electricity production is mostly done through fossil fuels. And that's great.

But also that's it. They aren't going to carry the grid on their own, they aren't going to cure cancer or bring world peace.

That's his usual MO.
Is he well known here?
