Blowing the Whistle on the Blindingly Obvioushttps://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/07/blowing-the-whistle-on-the-blindingly-obvious.phpThe London Times reports that “green” energy threatens Britain’s ability to keep the lights on:
Britain’s race to net zero will leave the country at greater risk of blackouts and higher electricity bills, a confidential report commissioned by the national grid system has warned.
The report, disclosed to The Times by a whistleblower, revealed the National Energy System Operator (Neso) cannot accurately model the modern power system as the government pursues a drive towards renewable energy sources.
Of course it can’t accurately model the power system! Wind and solar are intermittent, weather-dependent electricity sources. There is no way to predict, or to control, when they will produce electricity and when they will not. This has been obvious to everyone for a long time, but apparently it took a “confidential report” and a “whistleblower” to bring the facts to the attention of the British public.
This blindingly predictable issue is becoming a problem in some US regions, with California being a moronic pioneer. US states and the Feds need to stop mandating utility purchases and subsidies of these boondoggles. They have been subsidized and have been failing since the Carter MalAdministration!
