Chuck DeVore on Texas Town’s High Electricity Bills: Storing Wind Power Is Costly

RUSH EXCERPT:

DEVORE: “Speak of this started back in 2012, it’s a goal, let’s be 100% renewable, we will save money, this is the Republican thing to do. The prices of natural gas went down because we found more of it and the problem with wind power is that it is mainly made at night. It’s expensive to store it. The town of Georgetown entered a contract with a French owned company, they are buying wind from at night when they are needing it and during the daytime, they have two buy power Off the Grid. They have lost about $30 million in the last four years and the residents of Georgetown are looking at electricity bills that are about 600 bucks a year higher than nearby communities.”
