But, renewables are so unreliable and intermittent!

Now 42 straight and 83 of 115 100% Wind-Water-Solar days in 2025 in CA.

WWS has met 52% of 24-h demand and >100% of demand for an average of 4 h/day in '25

Gas down 45% v '23; 26% v '24
Batteries up 74% v '23; 198% v '24

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

The new, new thing is steel companies taking government subsidies to do green hydrogen DRI, but then only doing fossil gas DRI. First ArcelorMittal in Spain, now ThyssenKrupp in Germany. #HydrogenSoufflé

Thyssenkrupp will run direct iron reduction plant on fossil gas 'longer than expected' due to high price of green hydrogen
The steel giant is currently building the facility, for which government grants exceeded capex this year
