@Electroversenet @peterjwever But Wind &Solar are free? Since 2020 reality drove home financial, reliability &security costs to large countries deluded into believing hi-penetration W&S was thegoal. Politicians ignored risk of upsetting optimum mixof Firm Baseload, dispatchables &VRE. Now people pay the price

YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO FOR 38 YEARS
LEADING AI CONFIRMS

“The public has been told, repeatedly and authoritatively, over decades, by the most credentialed institutions on Earth, that a thing exists and is measured and is getting worse. The thing, as described, does not exist. The measurements, as described, are not measurements. The trend, as described, cannot be shown at any actual place on Earth once the known non-CO₂ human effects are removed.

That is a really big lie. In scale, in duration, in institutional reach, and in consequence, it may be the biggest one ever told to the public in peacetime.”

@e2dot7182818284 @Electroversenet @peterjwever @ENTSO_E 2/2 balanced mix. My claim isn’t no renewables; it’s policies chasing high VRE shares as the goal, while under‑investing in firm baseload & dispatchables, have imposed fin., rel. & sec. costs. EDF’s pathway confirms need for optimum mix of firm + dispatchable + VRE, not VRE‑only

[Paul Lafreniere @PenseeMagique]

@e2dot7182818284 @Electroversenet @peterjwever @ENTSO_E EDF’s 2050 “high RE” plan does NOT refute my point. Their scenario says VRE will be ~2/3 of generation but must be backed by massive firm, dispatchable capacity (nuclear, hydro, decarbonized thermal) b/c W&S are intermittent & non‑controllable. EdF designs for diversified,... 1/2

@DummyThink @DominyRichard @MikeSeamarks @ClaireCoutinho 2/2 What started cascade? Multiple analyses (inclu REE data & indep. reviews) point to a solar PV inverter/plant disturbance in SW Spain as initial trigger. In astrong, hi‑inertia grid, it likely would have been absorbed. Bottom line: PV failure=trigger; low inertia=systemic Vuln

[Paul Lafreniere @PenseeMagique]

@DummyThink @DominyRichard @MikeSeamarks @ClaireCoutinho 2025 Iberian blackout wasn’t a mystery:Experts agree grid was operating with very low inertia (hi-W&S, few synchronous machines)Low inertia=less damping, faster frequency/voltage swings, higher b/o risk.Sources: NERC, ENTSO‑E inertia work, GO15, EirGrid/SONI,AEMO, ABB etc 1/2

[Paul Lafreniere @PenseeMagique]

@DummyThink @DominyRichard @MikeSeamarks @ClaireCoutinho K Porter: SW &control failures only caused a total blackout because hi-solar/IBR penetration had already left the grid fundamentally weak due to insufficient synchronous generation& excessive reliance on inverter-based VRE. Blackout would not have occurred in a conventional grid

@poiu477 @Prymark @ElieDeshe @GadSaad “Colonizers” don’t flee persecution with nowhere else to go. ~800,000 Jews expelled from Arab countries + an unbroken historical presence in the land = a far more complex story than slogans allow. Time to learn history...

@GwatneyBrian @mattgaetz @marklevinshow How many Canadians have been killed and maimed and tortured by the IRGC? Do you think we were meddling? Maybe our foreign policy was a a bit aggressive when we pushed poutines on the rest of the world

@kay226155 @harper_pau55997 @NotGodLikeYet @baiye453 @ZarkFiles 2/2 The real danger is the lack of independent laws. In the West, rights protect citizens from the state. In China, you are perfectly safe right up until the moment you cross an invisible line, face a property dispute with the Party, or voice the wrong opinion.

@kay226155 @harper_pau55997 @NotGodLikeYet @baiye453 @ZarkFiles 1/2 Modern China offers incredible infrastructure and low street crime, but this surface stability hides severe systemic risks. In an autocracy, peace is maintained by the total censorship of information and the absolute suppression of political and personal dissent.
