Shining A Spotlight On Wind & Solar Misinformation
Well, if there is a myth out there about wind and solar power, I certainly wanted to know more. Perhaps my whole career as a writer forhas been based on a lie. Perhaps if I knew the truth, I would mend my ways and start disseminating the straight skinny to my readers. The Energy Collective Group says it “brings together the best thinkers on energy and climate. Join us for smart, insightful posts and conversations about where the energy industry is and where it is going.
Leyland scoffs at the idea that the way to net zero is to simply build more wind and solar installations. We will soon come to find that we still need good old fashioned thermal generating stations to keep the lights on when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine. Since the cost of battery storage is currently $600,000 per MWh, that equates to $90 million needed for every MW of renewable energy generated in the Golden State. Since solar farms now cost $1.5 million per MW, by lightning-like calculation, storage will cost 80 times more than the cost of building a solar power plant in the first place.
Hydrogen? Forget about it. Most of it is made from methane, so that’s a non-starter. Green hydrogen made by electrolyzing water uses huge amounts of electrical energy, 60% of which is lost in the process. , which has quite a file on Bryan Leyland. He has lodged a complaint with the Council against the New Zealand Herald, which he says is failing to report that global warming isIn his complaint, Leyland argued the reports in the Herald that referenced the consensus among climate scientists that human action is causing global heating without presenting dissenting opinions is irresponsible. “Consensus is all about politics and religion and not about science,” Leyland wrote.

Letter: Shade provided by elevated solar panels would create opportunity for grazingOne result of solar energy development over vast tracts of desert land in the western U.S. is the creation of shade. While converting solar energy to electrical energy the closely set opaque solar panels block much sunlight which should reduce soil temperature and soil water evaporation. This situation creates economic opportunity for farmers/ranchers to regain use of the land for grazing by elevating the height of the pedestals of the solar panel arrays to, say, 10 feet (or even more). This would permit cattle to graze, in partial shade, the grass which could flourish in the cooler wetter soil (further aided by composted manure). The frameworks of the solar arrays could even be painted green. Other activities under the elevated solar arrays also come to mind.
