Gore Praises South Australia Energy Scheme, Forgets Major Blackouts
Timothy Birdnow
Poor Al Gore; he just doesn't get a break. He should ahve walked away with the election of 2000; a roaring economy and he was the sitting Veep, but still he got aced out by that Texas billy with a body temperature I.Q. Every time he (Gore, not the Texan Bush) gives speeches on Global Warming a blizzard strikes or temperatures plummet to Arctic levels. It was so bad the Gang Green - his sponsors and pidgeons, er, patrons - had to change the name of the "crisis" to "Climate Change" because the more Gore spoke about warming the colder it seemed to get.
Well, poor old Al stepped in it again, this timein South Australia where he praised the Aussie state for promoting battery storage of energy - after they had a major power blackout caused by too much reliance on wind power for electricity.
CFACT has the story:
"The electricity from both solar and wind continues to come down every single year. And the new historic development is battery storage is coming down significantly in cost,†Gore told the Aussie press, referring to South Australia’s deal with Tesla.
"And this historic announcement that South Australia is leading the entire world with the installation of the largest battery in the world, it will be the first of many to come,†Gore said.
End excerpt.
Poor Al just continues to dine on his own insole. Just last year South Australia went darker than Gore's Presidential ambitions and continues to suffer from rolling black and brown-outs. Too much wind and solar fails to provide adequate, steady electricity. The Gang Green call these "renewables" and it is fitting, because they have to be constantly renewed. It's as if every time you wanted gasoline you had to drill a new oil well.
In point of fact, the whole idea of "sustainability" is code for no economic growth. The socialists pushing this agenda believe you can have a perfectly balanced society where there is no growth but also no shrinkage. It's a fine mathematical model, but completely impractical in a world ruled by entropy and metamorphosis. This little slice of the Universe requires growth or death. We simply cannot build a static system, because there are more people all the time, and technology changes the demand - and always increases it. In the neolithic energy was expended through muscle power or fire alone. People were few, and they didn't live all that well. You cannot have a neolithic power system in a world with smartphones, air conditioners, and jet planes. ""Sustainability" in their view means carefully managed energy usage, which means a central authority to control it i.e. world government. It is nothing but a back door to a worker's paradise.
And it just doesn't work. More from the article:
"But gore is leaving out some big problems South Australia has had with green energy.
In September, 1.7 million people were left without power for up to two weeks in some cases after 200 megawatts of wind power stopped coming on the grid during a storm. That was enough to destabilize the grid.
The storm caused some problems in the province’s transmission lines, but the blackout didn’t happen until wind power went offline. The question of how to handle future blackouts sparked a political fight.
South Australia closed its last coal-fired power plant in July, and energy experts warned there could be reliability problems as reliance on wind increased. South Australia gets 41 percent of its electricity from solar, wind and other green energy sources.
Australia’s Energy Council reported South Australia’s reliance on solar panels and wind turbines "has not only led to a series of technical challenges,†but "also increased wholesale price volatility as the state rebalances its supply from dispatchable plant to intermittent generation.â€"
End excerpt.
Anyone who has tried to balance a basketball on the tip of their finger knows it doesn't last long; sooner or later the ball will swing one way or another and drop.
But Gore doesn't seem to learn, and he keeps stepping in his own biofuel. Or, rather, he does indeed know but doesn't care as the biofuel may be brown and smelly and hard to get off his shoe, but the greenbacks he has reaped from it means he can just buy a new shoe. Gore has become filthy rich off this War of the Worlds scare.
But it is fun to watch him make an endless fool of himself. I suppose he isn't too proud to get rich by playing the buffoon. And he does that SOOOO beautifully!
