Impossibility of a 100% "Green" Electricity Country

The reason why I've not written anything new on my blog for so long is because I simply can't think of what else to write. I've already stated almost all there is to state. I've proven in what is one of my favorite posts that Nuclear Energy is cost effective (here). I've also supported my own idea of utilizing both Reprocessing and Vitrification as an effective method of waste management (here). And to cap it off, I've offered rebuttals to all of the opposition throughout the course of my posts.



The only thing I can think of writing more than I have already done so, is the following message:

Many green energy advocates believe that the entire electricity of the United States could be sustained through the use of both solar panels and wind-farms.

This is completely false.

There is no possible way that our country's energy could be supplied with just those two energy resources. Allow me to explain.

As I've mentioned in the past, it's impossible to store electricity for later use. There is no giant battery the size of Texas hiding anywhere! The energy we use must be created when we need it. You can't choose when you produce electricity with solar or wind electricity. It's there, when it's there!

This means that if electricity due to wind or solar means is ever hindered, there would be no way to meet current needs if those were the only methods of production. Even if the overall electricity output in a year is equal to (or greater than) what is needed, there will be times when electricity isn't being produced abundantly enough. There will also be times when excess will be produced, but there's no way to store this excess. It disperses and is wasted.

If there isn't enough electricity being produced at any time, some areas will necessarily be cut off from electricity in order to have enough for other places. I would assume that on the new grid they would make certain buildings (such as hospitals) priorities. One thing you can bet on, though, is that the elected officials who would have implemented this idea would have electricity, even if you were shivering in the dark in the dead of winter.

So you see, there would have to be back-up power plants  in a supposedly complete "green" electricity system to supply additional energy in such time periods. To catch the slack of the "green" energy. Since we don't want to use coal or oil due to eventual demand and loss of use as the resources are used, we would have to use Nuclear Energy. It's either that, or risk state-wide blackouts.

Thus, it's impossible for a country's electricity to be "green."

That's all I can think of at the moment. Thank you once again for reading, and hopefully understanding and incorporating in yourself my rambles.

I'm sorry that I'm not posting sources today, but all of my ideas are available throughout my other blogs, so it's nothing new. The rest of it is fairly common knowledge in the correct spheres and basic reasoning skills.
