Green Drinks July 2022 Replay: Tales from the Storm
On Saturday May 21st 2022 an unprecedented and catastrophic storm hit the Ottawa area. Uprooted trees and downed power lines littered the city. Power was knocked out for hundreds of thousands of people, some being without power for more than a week. Nearly half of Hydro Ottawa’s customer base lost electricity for a day or more and sadly several people were critically injured and died. While the storm of 2022 will go down in the books as one of mass destruction and devastation, there may be a silver lining: many turned to renewable technologies to help combat what followed. A resilient few were able to power their homes using renewable technologies. During Virtual Green Drinks July we heard some of those stories. Enjoy the replay from Tales from the Storm: Lessons in Community Resilience.

Arguments that renewable energy isn’t up to the task because “the Sun doesn’t shine at night and the wind doesn’t blow all the time” are overly simplistic.
There are a number of renewable energy technologies which can supply baseload power. The intermittency of other sources such as wind and solar photovoltaic can be addressed by interconnecting power plants which are widely geographically distributed, and by coupling them with peak-load plants such as gas turbines fueled by biofuels or natural gas which can quickly be switched on to fill in gaps of low wind or solar production. Use of batteries and other storage techniques are often the preferred low carbon way of filling in intermittency. Numerous regional and global case studies – some incorporating modeling to demonstrate their feasibility – have provided plausible plans to meet 100% of energy demand with renewable sources.
Can renewables provide baseload power?

There are too many people on the planet consuming too much.
Clearly the problem is so large that there is room for a systems approach to simultaneously reduce population, reduce resource consumption and reduce energy dependence on fossil fuels. Working on only one of these is insufficient. This document addresses a means to reduce fossil fuel dependence and cost by up to 85%
