Ask the Scotts about whether the wind ever stop blowing on the North Sea
I have to believe that we were all better off when were running 100% conventional sources, with the exception of a few “niche” uses for wind & solar that we didn’t have to depend on 100%.
Contrary to FR Groupthink thus cannot be true.
Coal and nuclear power plants can’t be idled.
Gas fired combustion turbines can be idled during which they pollute more than when running at full speed.
Wind energy is on a tear and has beaten coal for two months straight: Wind has now generated 28% more electricity than coal
\/
probably cuz 28% more coal powered generating plants were closed down by unelected unconstitutional agency wonks.
I’ve been saying that for years. There is no way that taking energy from the earths wind currents can happen without having an eventual effect on the earths climate patterns.
Who would a thunk it.
Government shutter coal plants and makes it nearly impossible to produce a single joule with coal.
Government pumps in hundreds of billions of dollars in direct tax dollars, subsidies, and forced mandates that energy producers MUST use windmills.
Nice spin on this
...and if they don’t stop the warming the ice walls will melt and all of the oceans will run off the surface of our flat Earth.
How to lie with statistics 101:
The reason is the Biden and Obama administration has put restictive standards on coal plants so there shutting the older one while doing everything to encourage wind mills.
Look into it and don’t believe the headlines.
Coal keeps working whether too hot or too cold or too windy or not windy enough - and it doesn’t kill birds.
No, natural gas is overtaking coal.
Barely 1/3 of what coal used to be ! Stupid article.
Don’t you go telling me your false BS.
Coal vs. Wind?
well, if you outlaw Coal, Of course.
Try to outlaw Wind.....you can’t.
This post is a joke.
Not funny, just stupid.
Hey, “Sherwood” doesn’t include the SUN!
Throw those graphs into the garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRASH, STINKING TRASH!
Sherwood News’s....robbing our time and giving it to the poor!
‘I done broke the code!”
Not hard to beat coal WHEN you have closed all the coal plants down, these asshats THINK we are stupid!!!
I don’t know about the earth’s rotation, but I do know that when you take energy out of a system like a wind stream, you reduce the energy in the wind. How in the world is that anything other than systemic climate change?
Don’t mess with mother nature.
Bingo.
The killing of American power from coal is what the usage change shows, not any big suitability of wind turbines.
