It's a shame but none of the idiots who are wrecking our energy systems will be held properly accountable; not the politicians, not the activists and not the business people who are going along with this - many of them are making good money along the way. People still believe that W&S are cheap but they overlook all the points you make and the fact that they are parasitic and only survive off the back fossil fuel and nuclear. This is also in the face of record high bills - our UK politicians are going into overdrive that it is all Putin's fault.
Solid overview. Global Misallocation of ESG capital was supported by political, scientific & financial hacks that breached their fiduciary responsibilities!
I interpret the CA-ISO report of 24 December this way. Since in the public mind, renewable energy means wind and solar, one should not group them with other sources having different characteristics. Therefore, the actual fraction of California's electricity produced by renewables is 16.5% of the claimed 82%, that is 1.4%.

I like the energy generation + subsidy graphic.
Thanks for the overview these three pieces give of the problem
Of course all of this is in service of an illusion, the climate emergency.
To go along with your pieces here is a clear summation of the data surrounding the climate emergency

Fantastic article! Thank you!

And they're not done.
Hi George
Completely agree. California won’t have 42% wind and solar in this decade…probably never.
Say Hi to Meredith for me.

Great point, George! We always pull hydro out for the simple reason that, like hard rock mines in America, good luck building one today.
