Distributed Power Generation - we pay this man the most money for this?



Alex Love manager of Nelson hydro continues to repeat the falsehood that the Nelson Community solar garden is about distributed energy generation when in fact its the opposite!

 His statements "its about distributed power generation" !!

The meaning of Distributed power generation :

Distributed generation (also known as distributed energy) refers to power generation at the point of consumption. Generating power on-site, rather than centrally, eliminates the cost, complexity, interdependencies, and inefficiencies associated with transmission and distribution.

Any intermittent unreliable power, solar and wind only add to infrastructure and costs.  The need for firm reliable power when wind and solar don't work still exists and requires infrastructure, solar and wind don't remove that.

At the city hydro budget meeting Alex Love explained distributed generation to the mayor and council as follows:

Take a large interior hydro dam for example it creates gobs of power but requires huge infrastructure to bring it to the population.  

Well that is still required no matter how many solar panels we waste our money on in BC.  Because they don't make power at night, hardly in winter, during peak breakfast demand or evening supper demand periods, or winter heating demands when solar is next to useless.

We pay this man the most money in Nelson.  Update,  he no longer works for this city.
