Is that your claim to fame? Making Sch!t up? You were the one posted about pumped hydro being around since 1907. Well after the start of the fossil fuel period.

What powered the pumped hydro stations prior to fossil fuels Lee?

I can't give a definitive answer. Perhaps you can tell us how the slaves carried it up the hill in buckets. Grin

But boilers burned wood to create steam, as well as coal. Wood is not a fossil fuel, but a precursor to fossil fuel. Wink

Yes Lee. Pumped Hydro is a type of battery. Welcome to the 21st century. Actually we had them early in the last century, to deal with the fact that coal fired power stations are not sufficiently dispatchable to match demand patterns.

Nope. we had them early in the last century but they were overtaken by fossil fuels. They were better at it. We didn't run out of water. Wink

They couldn't meet demand. And they don't now, they are a battery type, but they still only provide back up. Wink

I am asking you what your story is Lee. Or were you just dribbling incoherently? Bit hard to demonstrate your gullibility if you can't string a sentence together.

Can you quote me?

Are you admitting it is BS, or trying to tell us that you don't know how to quote something Al Gore said in movie that all the climate "scpetics" are talking about?

Scoot, shall we chalk this one down to another example of a gullible useful idiot climate "sceptic" demonstrating their gullibility in a thread dedicated to the gullibility of climate "sceptics," at the same time as accusing everyone else of being a gullible useful idiot?

Can you show us the map Scoot?

Excuse me, do you have a problem with mistresses?

That's another question.

No, I think he's saying we need to pack up the Royalla solar plant and invest in clean coal.

Is that it, old boy?

Unlike the mother country, such cads. Denmark's now 86% renewable.

FD,
Quote:

It is not possible to store solar power generated during the day to use at night

Yes it is - just used pumped hydro storage -

the water is pumped uphill and released later to drive electric turbines.

What source of energy is used to power the pumps to pump it uphill? Grin

Read what is says Gnads - you can pumped hydro to store solar power.

Errrr - what? That makes no sense.

And you tell me what electricity is used to pump water back up to the storage dam?

The electricity generated from the water storage in the upper dam is used to put electricity into the grid when required during peak periods.

It is not used to pump water back up the hill to the storage dam. That would defeat its purpose.

Power from the national grid would be used off peak to pump the water up.

And that is not solar generated power.

Why not? We are about to get 3 hours of free electricity during the middle of the day because of the abundance of solar power. As thermal power stations close and we build more solar, this will become even more pronounced.
