someone's got to keep the lights on

@skells yea but nukes take much longer to build than wind

@11112011 15 years yeah, but unless you can find some serious batteries....

@11112011 25MW lel

@skells that was just the pilot

@11112011 the problem remains - how do you match the grid load when these things drop off?

@skells u get it from other places

@11112011 that synchronisation fragilises the system in proportion to use of renewables

@skells the grid needs to match generation with consumption thats why crying that adding renewables doesnt make sense, u on the field of ideology

@11112011 it's not ideology it's electrical engineering

renewables (other than hydro) are volatile and you need alternatives when generation falls below consumption

@skells its pure ideology all added generation is gud

It's really not. Add enough renewables and you can have spot prices drop to zero, or even go negative. You're basically forcing the conventional providers to act as grid stabilizers for the renewables, meanwhile they don't get to sell electricity when the grid is producing.

@dave @11112011 @skells

Can confirm, we get negative spot prices sometimes. In Australia they have negative spot prices during the daily solar panel peak.

In New Zealand we use geothermal, rather than nuclear for the base load electricity.

Our geothermal plants produce about 20% of our electricity.

You could build geothermal plants in most countries that have hot springs or volcanoes.
