Her EV would not charge during the cold Cleveland winter of January 2022. Also in January, more than 100 insurance companies sued Texas electrical grid operator ERCOT because of the grid failure that happened in February 2021 due to the cold weather. The failure resulted in hundreds of deaths and tens of billions of dollars in damages. Former Swiss Environmental Minister Simonetta Sommaruga, seeking ways to reduce energy use, recently advised people to \u2018shower together.\u2019 These examples point to growing problems with the world\u2019s rush to transition to renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this link to read the rest of the book\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">introduction:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/7b7e27.p3cdn1.secureserver.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Introduction.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Introduction.pdf (secureserver.net)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Introduction.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Introduction.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a1101a6c-b03f-46fd-a5b3-dea0f032da38\" href=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Introduction.pdf\">Introduction<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Introduction.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a1101a6c-b03f-46fd-a5b3-dea0f032da38\">Herunterladen<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Green Breakdown<\/em>&nbsp;alerts the reader to these and other questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After almost $4 trillion spent globally on renewable energy from 2000 to 2018, why were coal, oil, and natural gas still providing 81 percent of world energy in 2018, the same share as in 1991?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If electricity produced by wind and solar is cheaper, why do Denmark and Germany, the European nations with the most wind and solar capacity per person, have the highest electricity prices?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since electricity produced by burning biomass emits at least 50 percent more carbon dioxide per megawatt of power than burning coal, why is biomass considered zero emissions?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If global warming makes storms more frequent, why does data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that hurricane land falls in the United States have been slightly declining since 1850?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since less than five watt-hours of every&nbsp;<em>million<\/em>&nbsp;watt-hours of US electricity consumption are stored in grid-scale batteries, how can batteries solve the problem of wind and solar intermittency?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is text from the conclusion of Chapter 10 of&nbsp;<em>Green Breakdown<\/em>, which is titled \u201cEnergy Crisis and the Seeds of Failure\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOutput from nuclear power grew rapidly from 1956 to 1980. Leaders projected that nuclear would become the dominant source of global electricity. But the nuclear industry ran into cost, safety, and waste concerns as it grew larger. Similarly, wind, solar, and EVs have grown quickly and are projected to dominate the world\u2019s energy systems. When energy sources are small, they can grow rapidly with little negative effect on the overall energy system. But as they grow larger, negative side effects can slow and then halt penetration.<\/p>\n<cite><em>Wind and solar now face mounting problems with poor electrical power reliability from intermittency, local opposition to vast land requirements, transmission infrastructure shortages, and rising electricity bills for rate payers. Electric vehicles encounter rising battery metal costs and charging issues. Biofuels require increasing amounts of land and provide negligible emissions reductions. Accelerating demands for mined metals and rising end-of-life wastes for wind, solar, and EVs sprout as major cost and environmental issues. The push for carbon capture and hydrogen fuel faces insurmountable cost, transport, and scale barriers. With all these problems and the negative side effects, the transition to renewable energy is headed for failure.\u201d<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Green Breakdown<\/em>, like my other books, contains many quotes from scientists, political and business leaders, environmental groups, the United Nations, and other organizations.
