The magic DEFR technology does not exist, but if it did exist then it could be used, not as a backup for wind and solar, but as a replacement. We are left with two possible outcomes:
1. A DEFR is not possible, in which case wind and solar cannot meet the needs of the grid.
2. A DEFR is possible, in which case wind and solar are not needed.
Both outcomes lead to the conclusion that we should stop building wind and solar.
There are things about solar sites that do not seem to be reported.We have a site here in S VA that was built 3 years ago and it worked for 3 weeks and not since.There is problems with the parts that make the panels track the sun.They wear out in weeks.Then the sites sits, not working,while it contaminated creeks and rivers.Also there have been dump sites found that the panels leak into the ground water.They are full of Cad Telluride and PFAS.Then the back up battery systems are hideous and catch fire.Once even these few examples are calculated ,this makes solar even more expensive.Good article!!
Well done with informative links for supportive background. The huge question is, it is perfectly obvious to any of us associated with electricity generation. "Why do the politicians and policymakers continue the madness of forcing unreliable, expensive and anti-American renewables on the citizens"
You could call it rhetorical. However, the renewables push by politicians is the result of a very effective smear campaign across the U.S. against conventional energy, especially coal fueled plants. In NY they even shut down Indian Point nuclear. This is a nationwide problem and Congress needs to intercede and in my opinion: First; REIN in the EPA 2. Support President Trump's energy policies.

DEFR means nuclear. Period. It's the only anytime-you-want-it emissions-free resource!

Neatly said!

Keep on keeping on, eventually the facts will force the great green farce to acknowledge the truth. Thank you!

I assume this is a rhetorical question and one that the residents of the Northeast especially should be asking...🤨🪫

Is there another person or source who shows these same kinds of comparison of data for the state of Massachusetts?
