When the turbines are shut down during high winds you know it has to be fkd up and undependable.
Where is the Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace and others on this?
I don’t like the farms because they blot out beautiful vistas out West. One turbine is kinda neat looking but dozens in one place not.
Doesn’t matter how much damage they cost, we have to save the environment at any cost
The turbines only operate within a narrow range of wind speeds. Winds below 16 mph don’t generate enough force to turn the vanes; winds above 36 mph overstress the structure so the windmill has to be shut down. Western civilizations and their myopic romance with wind power are playing a fool’s game.
Drove through Upstate NY and there must be 1000 of these obscene looking machines that just totally destroy the view.
I have an answer: BURN COAL. God put it there for a reason.
“Where is the Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace and others on this?”
Hopefully you understand these groups well enough to know that answer. In case others don’t, here it is: Wildlife Fund and Greenpeace are EXACTLY where they want to be. They have much, if not most, of the public CONVINCED that the only way to ‘save the planet’ is to shut down every practical means of energy production.
They couldn’t do that directly - they tried and failed, so now it’s indirect. Give the masses something to replace those plants that doesn’t even work. But no problem, they won’t understand the math or the physics needed to figure out that these ‘replacements’ won’t work, they’ll simply ‘feel good’ by supporting those plans.
And then, after coal, nukes, and other plants are shutdown, demolished, and/or blown up, and the country stumbles back toward a per-industrial existence, it won’t matter - the people will be desperate for handouts, anything, and only the DEMOCRATS can fill those needs. And then finish the job by locking out conservatives from the political arena - for generations. And, hopefully, it’s not necessary to have to explain how that comes about (think Voter ID, or more specifically lack of Voter ID, for starters).
