U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright attributed a significant power outage in Spain and Portugal to renewable energy, emphasizing risks tied to variable weather conditions. His remarks contrasted with the Spanish grid operator's stance, which stated that the cause was uncertain. Experts highlighted that the outage, affecting millions, likely stemmed from multiple systemic factors rather than solely renewable energy failures. This incident reflects ongoing political debates regarding the reliability of wind and solar energy, reminiscent of previous events like the 2021 Texas blackouts.
It's very sad to see what's happened to Portugal and Spain and so many people there. But you know, when you hitch your wagon to the weather, it's just a risky endeavor.
This has the hallmarks of being a very complicated event... It's not going to be cut and dry.
