The Greens support wind power generally even though...

1. It creates an unnatural blight on the countryside.
2. It is not efficient.
3. It creates noise pollution and magnetic field interference.
4. It kills birdlife.

To fix the “problem” a helicopter is employed (burning aviation fuel) to spray hot water (which is heated in the frigid temperatures using a truck equipped with a 260 kW oil burner) on the blades of the turbine to de-ice them.

The aviation fuel, the diesel for the truck, and the oil burned to heat the water, could produce more electricity (at the right time to meet demand) than the unfrozen wind turbine could ever produce. (Before it freezes up again).

Apparently we need global warming to keep the wind gennies running to prevent global warming.

Thank goodness they didn’t waste the avgas and diesel on something silly like producing electricity.

Saw an article not too long ago about the environmentally oriented Swedes burning trash for power. They even have to immport trash.

It is only a political position that wind power is out there. Long subsidized under PURPA and crosssubsidized by other sources internally, wind power is a bust.

Even Donald Trump tried to fight the spiteful installation of a wind farm next to his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, but the marxism is strong with those ones and he could not prevail over the OneWorlders.

Having studied IWTs at great length, I can truly say that I’ve not found one good thing to say about them. It would be good say that ‘at least they generate power’ which is something useful that we all need (and thus a trade-off for the things that are undesirable) but in the grand scheme of things, one can’t even say that.
