You obviously missed the context entirely and didn’t read the article.
- Comment on Scientists caution against charging electric vehicles at home overnight 2 weeks ago:
The study the article is talking about, is a possible solution to cover California’s solar energy glut problem, it is a case study. In trying to do that, it may create other problems, such as infrastructure to get people to charge their cars during the day while they work. This means employers must pay chargers at work, adding onto more costs onto the employee. Nighttime charging may be cheaper and more convenient, but remember, the study wants you to capture all the wonder solar power during the day, not use potential green house gases from natural gas at night. The more complexity, the more problems you have.
- Comment on Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night 2 weeks ago:
The Hill tries to make backup energy as something that brings volatility and rolling blackouts, which makes no sense. Implying they believe that wind and solar should go without backup, and consistent generation at night, which is basically extra capacity. This seems like common sense legislation. If you are going to need to roll out back up generation in the future, might as well do it now, instead of later. This does a couple of things for the Texas GOP goal of increasing reliability, it increases the responsibility on solar and wind producers to address their own volatility, instead of dumping the volatility on ancillary services, which gain less revenue, because of their off-time, accommodating wind and solar. The concern for Texas Legislature is volatility, or intermittency.
- Comment on California wants to kill rooftop solar — all because officials duped by this flawed theory | Too many officials have bought a key utility company excuse for rising energy prices — solar "cost shift" 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think the author of this article understands what he wrote, or purposely omitting key things about grid balancing. The problem with rooftop solar incentives is they encourage solar production during the day when the sun is out, but do nothing when the sun settles. California has to switch to other types of energy such as batteries, natural gas plants, etc. The grid is already saturated with energy during the day, even into negative prices. Utilities are paying into these rooftops, perhaps at retail prices, for something that does not address the energy gaps through the timeline of 24 hour power generation. California’s rooftop solar does not balance out the system.

- Comment on Rural counties ask Gov. Hochul to slow down on renewable energy projects 5 weeks ago:
Solar and wind have lower direct cost. When the wind does not blow, you get no electricity. When the sun does not shine, you get no energy. Nuclear power has the best capacity factor. It is the most reliable energy source. The indirect costs of solar and wind are their intermittency. Their intermittent issues cost money. For a company that promises to deliver electricity, and the wind does not blow? That cost money. If you have an abundance of electricity produced, and nowhere to send it, you lose money. In the case of California, they desperately jettison energy across to Arizona, while Californians pay for the expensive portion of solar energy. California has expensive electricity. That is an example of an indirect cost. To want more distribution paths for wind and solar, you need to build costly transmission lines that need to be replaced every 40 years. You need batteries to store oversupply for times of low supply, just to smooth out the price level across time. If you don’t have batteries for them, you need natural gas plants as back up. Nuclear energy has stability and reliability. You get what you pay for, which is cheap, unpredictable, and unreliable energy.

In general, electricity prices are significantly lower in France compared to Germany. France’s electricity prices are about 40% lower than Germany’s. This difference is due to a combination of factors, including France’s reliance on nuclear power and different electricity generation mixes and tax policies.
- Comment on Rural counties ask Gov. Hochul to slow down on renewable energy projects 5 weeks ago:
France is a global leader in nuclear energy, generating around 65–70% of its electricity from nuclear sources. This makes it the world’s largest net exporter of electricity, earning over €3 billion annually.
