Pricey Editor,
I’m flabbergasted by a few of the feedback I learn in your Fb web page, and the overall stage of ignorance about car emissions and the harm this does to folks’s well being; and certainly virtually something to do with attempting to scrub up the planet.
One of many quite common errors I see, which appears to be inspired by local weather change deniers, is that inexperienced power or renewable power is one way or the other dearer than power produced from polluting sources resembling coal-fired energy stations. That is in fact full nonsense.
There’s a quite simple manner in Spain of proving this and viewing the proof. On very windy days on this nation the wholesale worth of electrical energy plummets. For these of us who are usually not tied into personal provide contracts and profit from the PVPC authorities regulated tariff the quantity we’re charged adjustments by the hour.
On days when wind floods the market with massive quantities of extra electrical energy, it signifies that we profit from occasions in the course of the day when it prices virtually nothing to make use of family home equipment. And that is due to renewable power. The identical will occur as increasingly more solar energy crops provide power to the nationwide grid. We may have cheaper electrical energy. Anybody who thinks that ‘inexperienced’ is hitting them of their pockets actually must get up.
The power disaster of 2022 was attributable to our over reliance on fossil fuels. It was Russian gasoline which was the supply of the issue. By phasing out fossil fuels resembling gasoline and oil, despotic regimes all over the world will lose the earnings which brings them a whole bunch of billions of {dollars} yearly.
Shifting to renewable power is a win-win state of affairs. Decrease payments, cleaner air, higher well being, much less money for dictatorships – and we would simply save the planet from man-made destruction.
