ZeroHedge on solar and wind power and future blackouts

Affordability and reliability are the two things good energy sources need to be.  Solar and wind—unlike hydropower, which is also a renewable source—can only be one of these two things, and that's if there is no storage included.  They can be affordable, as we are often reminded.  Yet, sadly, they cannot be reliable.

This means that the more billions are poured into boosting renewable capacity, the greater the risk of further blackouts.  Perhaps at some point, if wind and solar become the main sources of electricity, authorities will need to institute planned outages.
