Coal, Oil, Natural Gas Defended
KENTUCKY...
Whenever you hear about the miracles of wind power, always keep
in mind one thing above all: because the wind blows erratically, and sometimes
doesn'r blow at all, wind power is inherently unreliable, writes Alex
Epstein. "Where coal, oil, and natural gas can be burned whenever power is needed, at the exact quantity needed, wind and sunlight can be harnessed only when the weather cooperates--and electricity cannot be stored in significant quantities for a rainy day. Thus, they are always used as supplemental, not primary, sources of power on electric grids". Epstein is a fellow at the Ayn Rand Center For Individual Rights.
