Breakthrough Institute: "Following major power outages in Spain and Portugal—probably the largest blackout in Europe’s history—many are already rushing to exonerate Spain’s wind and solar generation from culpability...But while a total grid collapse at this scale will be multifactorial, it is a simple statement of fact to observe that most of Spain’s solar and wind capacity was wholly unequipped to weather grid fluctuations, possessing none of those shiny new supporting technologies. Running a power system mostly on wind and solar may be theoretically possible, but has yet to be demonstrated on any large grid in the world. Doing so would require a number of “grid-enhancing” solutions that are only just beginning to enter operational service at scale today. ... But it is, frankly, exactly what one would expect from the type of energy transition attempted by the Spanish government: breakneck deployment of renewables, a failure to ensure enough spinning generator capacity to maintain stabilizing grid inertia despite widespread understandings of these risks and vocal warnings from grid operators, and underinvestment in grid capabilities that could compensate for renewable energy’s unique technical risks to reliability. It is a testament to the gravity of such risks that an outage has already occurred, two years prior to the start of Spain’s planned phaseout of nuclear energy. ... [Solar and wind's] benefits to the power system—modularity and low marginal costs—have to be balanced against their shortcomings—intermittency, large land area, and transmission requirements. Additionally, most solar and wind farms operating today use simpler equipment that are vulnerable to unexpected shifts in frequency and do not provide spinning or synthetic inertia that can compensate for grid frequency fluctuations. ... Both Spanish officials and some mainstream media coverage have been quick to dismiss any explanations that implicate wind and solar in the blackouts. “Reliance on renewables is not to blame,” wrote Reuters’ Ron Buosso. "Rather, the issue appears to be the management of renewables in the modern grid.” This dismisses the inherent risks that unaugmented wind and solar can pose to grid operation, and shifts accompanying blame away from the renewables sector and onto utilities and grid operators.

The sudden loss of large-scale solar generation in southwestern Spain caused a sharp drop in system frequency, which in turn triggered protective mechanisms in other generators’ under-frequency protection relays across the system. These protection mechanisms automatically caused other generators, namely Spain’s nuclear and other thermal plants, to trip offline...and contributed to the cascading failure that caused the widespread blackout.

As Climate Realism has repeatedly shown before, here, here, and here, for example, AFP seems wedded to reporting the narrative that humans are causing dangerous climate change, even when the data repeatedly debunks such assertions. Sadly, that seems to be an accurate reflection not just of AFP, but of the state of mainstream media climate reporting today.

Perhaps the fundamental failure of Net Zero was political. Permission was never sought from taxpayers and consumers who would pay the costs and suffer the consequences of an always ill-fated enterprise. Climate goals were set behind closed doors. Policies were imposed from above. Higher utility bills, job losses and diminished economic opportunity became the burdens of ordinary families. All while elites flew private jets to international summits and lectured about the need to sacrifice.

A new paper by Dr. Judith Curry, one of the world’s most prominent scientists skeptical of a looming human-caused climate catastrophe, and economist Harry DeAngelo cautions investors and the public that “the apocalyptic climate narrative is a seriously flawed guide for public policy.” Why? “Because it radically overstates the risks to humanity from continued global warming.” Wide-scale suppression of fossil fuel use will not measurably change future temperatures, but “a sharp decline in quality of life would surely ensue.”

Britain’s offshore wind farms are a clear and present danger to vital air defences, with the Labour Government forced to spend an astonishing £1.5 billion in the next two years to try to guarantee the integrity of the country’s early warning radar network. Wind turbines cause havoc with radar since the rotating blades create Doppler shifts that hinder detection of enemy aircraft, drones and missiles. The problem has been known about for some time but it is getting worse as turbine blades get larger. There is no guarantee that the enormous sums recently allocated will fix the problems despite amounting to 2.5% of the entire annual UK defence budget of around £60 billion.

This article is a textbook example of shoddy research dressed up as urgent policy insight. By stretching an already weak climate claim—about worsening cyclones—into an even more tenuous social consequence—missed school days—it commits the cardinal sin of science: drawing sweeping conclusions from flimsy, cherry-picked evidence. There is no measurable increase in hurricane strength or frequency. Therefore, there is no climate change driven crisis of school disruption. The authors of this editorial should get an “F” in climate literacy— for failing the scientific smell test. Readers deserve better than this kind of unsupported alarmism.
