Comment The wind is being blown up our collective asses (Score 1) 192

This article is typical of the proselytizing horseshit that the majority of modern /. editor submissions now consist of; Green Energy agitprop making ridiculous claims followed by comment sections full of sycophants slavishly defending same, no matter how asinine the claims. The delusion that the grid can somehow filter out electrons generated by a fossil plant from those generated by "green" sources and only use the latter is complete insanity, and elaborate "energy credit' legal shell games don't change this fact. The sycophants quoting said legal horseshit chapter and verse as if it makes any sense are only carrying water for the PR departments of the megacorporations paying extra to anoint themselves as Green Good Guys.

The same goes double for rabid Tesla fanboys, who are by and large the same crowd, who still cannot explain why hydrogen tech is still being pushed - despite it's colossal and obvious drawbacks - if "range anxiety" is just a figment of knuckle-dragging luddite's imaginations and the massive increase in load on the power grid implicit in a massive switch from hydrocarbons to electricity for transit purposes will totally be handled by the unstoppable tidal wave of Green Energy - as documented by the never ending deluge of headlines posted on Slashdot. Renewables overtake X! Renewables will catch up by Y! Ten thousand billion percent of new capacity added in Z were renewables! Ten thousand hot takes each hawking a curiously narrowly-defined statistic proclaiming the Age Of Renewables, and yet the greens are still stick mumbling about "energy credits" whenever they want to showcase where all that wonderful green energy has gone - because baseline load always has been run off fossil fuels, and will be for decades yet - and it sure as hell won't be fucking windmills that replace it.

It's all horseshit, every last bit of it, and I for one am tired of it I could scream. But I'm tired of the deluded techbro Java coders who regurgitate this corporation-worshipping horseshit even more.
