Spain’s blackout: blaming renewables only reveals ignorance and conflicts of interest

This source presents a column by Enrique Dans arguing that renewable energy is not to blame for power outages, but rather poor management of the electrical grid. He characterizes those who blame renewables as engaging in "energy flat-earthism," advocating for a future based on renewable energy with necessary storage and infrastructure. The accompanying comments section offers various perspectives, with some agreeing that management and infrastructure investment are the key issues, others pointing out that nuclear power and fossil fuels were used to restore the system after an outage, and some raising concerns about political interference and the limitations of the current grid. Overall, the text and its comments discuss the complexities of transitioning to a primarily renewable energy system and the ongoing debate about the role of different energy sources.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Spain’s blackout: blaming renewables only reveals ignorance and conflicts of interest«
