Climate Scam of the Week
• wendymcelroy.comYes, friends, it is possible to produce solar power at night -- as long
as you're getting paid hugely subsidized rates for the kilowatts you
feed into the grid. Bishop Hill provides this machine translation of a German news item:
On the one hand, it was quite clever of these scammers to discover that they could run diesel generators at a profit by pretending it was solar-generated electricity. On the other hand, it was quite careless for them to continue the scam at night, which seems to have been what finally tipped off investigators.
After
press reports, it was established during inspections that several solar
power plants were generating current and feeding it into the net at
night. To simulate a larger installation capacity, the operators
connected diesel generators.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," said one industry expert to the newspaper "El Mundo", which brought the scandal to light. If solar systems apparently produce current in the dark, will be noticed sooner or later. However, if electricity generators were connected during daytime, the swindle would hardly be noticed.
