minus-squarefolaht@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·edit-21 day agoSo glad to see this. Seeing all those nuclear fanboy comments whenever solar was mentioned from 2010 to 2025 was tiring. Onto the natgas fanboys. I’m looking at you Alex Christoforou.
minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoI still want natgas for cold, windless winter weeks.
minus-squarefolaht@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-223 hours agoInclude battery-exhausted to windless and I agree, but natgas fanboys will still claim that solar power “doesn’t work” and “can’t ever replace natgas”.
minus-squarePowerCrazy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoWhy? Why do people constantly claim that the only way to generate baseline power is by releasing fossil fuels and burning things?
minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 day agoNo. Not baseline. Standby capacity for when it’s cloudy, still, dry and all battery capacity has been used up. Maybe we only need natural gas for, say, 10 hours per year, but in those hours we really need it
