The draft also apparently says that, even though baseload plants are being retired, that doesn’t translate to reliability issues. “The power system is more reliable today due to better planning, market discipline, and better operating rules and standards,” the draft allegedly says. “Grid operators are using technologies, standards and practices to assure that they can continue operating the grid reliably.”
Очевидно, что массовый переход к солнечной/ветряной энергетике потребует немалых изменений (кстати, мне давно интересно, куда подевалась старая идея использовать энергию морских приливов? Потенциально, это абсолютно неисчерпаемый источник энергии – фактически, мы при этом используем энергию вращения Земли – который абсолютно предсказуем и никак не зависит от капризов погоды), но есть серьезные сомнения, что заботы DOE направлены именно в этом направлении.
Perry sent his staffers a memo back in April which never mentioned renewable energy by name but called out “certain policies” that have contributed to the “erosion of critical baseload resources,” like coal, natural gas, nuclear, and hydroelectric power. The tone of the memo, which accused Obama-administration policies of destroying jobs and “[undercutting] the performance of the grid well into the future,” seemed to make the results of the baseload study a fait accompli, which would allow the DOE to set policies to support the coal industry.
