re: 6 days ago Spain bragged about being 100% green energy. Black outs now.

They did.
Burning coal and wood.
How do you think that would go over in Massachusetts, or NY, or other NE utopias?

Will anyone learn anything from this? No.

If only a very few from the inner cities survived winter we would be better off.

"Excess solar resulted in too little inertia”…….. can I get a translation
This quote is referring to a technical issue in power grid management. Let me break it down:
"Excess solar" means there was too much solar power being generated and fed into the grid at a particular time.
"Too little inertia" refers to the physical property of rotational inertia that traditional power generators (like coal, gas, or nuclear plants) naturally provide to the grid. These conventional generators have large spinning turbines that resist changes in their rotation speed, which helps stabilize grid frequency.
So the quote is saying that having too much solar power generation relative to conventional generation created a stability problem in the electrical grid. Since solar power systems are connected through electronic inverters rather than spinning masses, they don't naturally provide the same stabilizing inertia to the grid. When the proportion of solar gets too high without proper compensation measures, the grid can become unstable and vulnerable to fluctuations, potentially leading to a power outage.
This is one of the technical challenges in transitioning to renewable energy sources - finding ways to maintain grid stability while incorporating more non-inertial generation like solar and wind.

John Kerry appreciates those buffoons as he jets across Europe.

Thanks for the info

I am a moron and I'm not even stupid enough to do that. Why would you even mess with the things keeping society going? It's like bragging your the first human to give up drinking water.

Back in those days people had to fend for themselves and were pretty resourceful.
All the pussies pushing this shite on the world don't know how to change a frickin light bulb much less know how to start a fire to stay warm, And that's a fact

So are they 100% green or no?

They're probably discounting how much of it came from battery power if I had to guess

Nope. Disease would make the south a tough place to live. White people were not made to live in tropical or sub-tropical areas without power. Before the advent of cheap electricity people crowded up north.

Well they didn’t have leftists banning them from burning wood for heat either.

You mean like the Germans shutting their nukes down to ... rely on Russian natural gas? That aged well. But, never overlook the willingness of the sheeple to misunderstand choices and consequences more than 30 days after an event. The socialists in Spain will just insist it's why they need more "renewables."

Good post. In Hawaii, we ended NEM because of having so much generation during the day. It forced homeowners who wanted to buy solar to also get batteries if they wanted solar and that along with Advanced Inverter features has stabilized the grid. I would think Spain has some huge battery banks, but if they don't that would be one way to help compensate for all the excess daytime production.
