‘EV house of cards collapses’ – The Inevitable EV Implosion – ‘The most ill-conceived government policy objective in modern history’

https://climatechangedispatch.com/reality-check-the-inevitable-ev-implosion/ BY RON ROSS, PH.D. The electric vehicle honeymoon is over. Don’t expect the marriage itself to last much longer either.

Report says the quiet part out loud: ‘Heavy industry’ (iron, steel, cement) will have to ‘adapt’ to intermittent solar/wind energy – ‘Will need to accommodate effects of weather conditions…time of day on wind & solar power generation’

“The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), a nonprofit research organization, develops policies to reduce energy waste and combat climate change.”

Report: “With Planning, Heavy Industry Can Use Wind and Solar Power”The growth of renewable power is key to helping industrial companies decarbonize quickly and economically, but it will also require them to adapt. While many facilities operate 24/7, they will need to accommodate the effects of weather conditions, the season of the year, and the time of day on wind and solar power generation.

‘Heavy industry’ includes energy-intensive industries, such as iron and steel, cement, bulk chemicals, refining, and food and beverage manufacturing.
