Spain was supposed to be Europe’s Green Energy success story. With massive amounts of renewables in the power grid, Spain was going to save the planet.
Here’s Red Electrica, Spain’s state-owned power company, last year bragging about its renewables.
“Renewable energies generated 56% of Spain’s electricity mix in 2024
Renewable generation increased by almost 11% in a record-breaking year on two fronts: achieving the highest renewable electricity generation ever recorded and capturing its largest share since records began.”
Now, Red Electrica is trying to explain why all the lights went out.
Spain has one of the highest proportions of renewable energy – 56 per cent on average – in Europe.
And just days ago on April 16, Spain’s power grid ran entirely on renewable energy, including wind, solar and hydro power for the first time.
First you go green, then you go black.
A technological country can’t run on medieval technologies like wind and solar. They’re simply not reliable. Everyone knows that including the people shilling for them. Blackouts are not a failure, they’re supposed to set us back and force us to use less power. This is Cloward-Piven for the power grid and the misery is not a bug, it’s a feature.
Happy belated Earth Day.
