The Climate Scam continues to simply be a trail that follows the money. Here in Australia a person that finds themselves so far out that the electric grid is not available why would you not have solar or wind. I remember back in Iowa as a boy the windmills were seen on almost every Iowa farm. 
These were built out of necessity and without government subsidies. Not so with the renewables of today. Here in Australia the renewable industry receives billions from both the state and Federal governments. What a joke!
No wonder, ‘Australia is currently installing solar and wind energy at the fastest rate of any major nation, according to Professor Ken Baldwin when he was the keynote speaker at the National Renewables in Agriculture conference and expo held in Wagga Wagga.
Taking into account both utility-scale renewables and domestic rooftop solar, we are installing more generating capacity per person each year (250 watts) than any other major country.
“Furthermore, Australia leads the world in domestic solar usage with more than 24 percent of households owning rooftop panels,” he said.
“This is in spite of the almost total absence of Federal Government planning to align climate and energy policy in response to climate change.
“The renewables revolution is instead being driven largely by the competitive economics of renewables, as more households cash in on the rooftop solar boom.”

Professor Baldwin said this revolution is also happening in agriculture where, for example, stand-alone solar-powered irrigation is starting to replace increasingly more expensive diesel-powered systems.’
“For rural properties and communities at the fringe of the electricity grid, the ability to combine rooftop solar or even small-scale wind with battery storage is also becoming more attractive as a way of addressing power outages.’
Now, the professor whose University receives millions of government dollars goes on to say “Security of supply is becoming crucial as disruptions caused by extreme weather events are predicted to increase due to climate change. This makes having your own stand-alone electricity system – or being part of a micro-grid with your neighbours – even more attractive in some fringe-of-grid locations.”‘ This goofy statement is made because the solar and wind cannot provide consistent reliable energy twenty four hours per day!
The professor admitted that “…even solar systems combined with battery storage will struggle when there are too many days in a row of cloud and rain. This can be circumvented by purchasing a diesel generator as a reserve, but this adds further to the cost.”
For both these reasons, Professor Baldwin said having a grid connection may provide useful backup – although utility companies will undoubtedly charge for such a service.’
Then this professor who gets a salary for pushing this climate scam concluded by saying that ‘In such future electricity markets, the ability to not only call on millions of rooftop generators, but also to ask millions of electricity customers to briefly curtail their demand, will increasingly be used to balance the system as the total penetration of renewables approaches 100 percent.
“So while on the face of it disconnecting from the grid and going it alone might seem attractive, there are many reasons to suggest that the grid is often your friend,” Professor Baldwin noted.’ https://www.theland.com.au/story/6537158/renewable-energy-in-agriculture-grid-or-off-grid/?src=rss&utm_email=1ec342a17f
I am old enough to remember when my parents first had air-conditioning at home. Wow, we were thrilled never thinking that one day in the future we would have to shut it off to SAVE THE PLANET! Again, I remind the reader to remember Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
land. Solar energy is unsuitable for the UK because during winter output is 9 times lower than summer. Since we have to find a reliable zero-carbon solution for the winter, it makes no sense to switch it off in the summer just because we like renewables.’ http://clivebest.com/blog/?p=7120
