Any one know how to short wind.

I know how to pass wind if that helps.

——critical undersea cable failure has cut the ability of imported French nuclear power to help maintain the fantasy that Britain’s renewable heavy electricity grid is fit for purpose——

Well I’ll be damned.......... I would have never ever conceived the thought that French nuclear powered turbines were providing electricity to the UK

Lots of data and numbers but it’s the best round up of commonly known data that more energy strikes the Sahara desert in a day than all of humanity used in a year by a factor of over hundred. That’s per day everyday.

http://www.dlr.de/tt/Portaldata/41/Resources/dokumente/institut/system/projects/Ecobalance_of_a_Solar_Electricity_Transmission.pdf

CSP power can be stored as heated oil, salts, hot pressurized water, or as heated geomaterials such as gravel, solid rock,or sands<<< the Sahara has lots of sands. The sun is a giant fusion reactor that comes up everyday like clockwork showering our whole planet in millions of times the energy all of humanity uses in a year per day. It’s absolutely a lie that humanity cannot be run on solar power it can be with technology we have today. One must also remember that humanity ran solely on solar power until the industrial Revolution. Wood is solar stored as cellulose, wind for sailing ships and Dutch windmills is solar driven temperature differences moving air masses. Water mills are solar driven evaporation into rain then gravity downhill all driven by the El Sol. Even fossil fuels are nothing more than stored solar energy. Oil is marine algae and freshwater lake diatoms both grew in shallow sun lite waters. Coal is prehistoric forests that fell in to swamps and shallow water without O2 to be turned over millions of years into coal. Humanity has the ability to fuel everything we need with nothing but our local Star.

Solar photovoltaic is already the cheapest form of power in human history in many parts of the world.

“Any one know how to short wind.”

Sure, I am so short winded that I am on one hundred percent VA disability. I’m not getting rich but I do okay shorting wind.

Go long on oil stocks. But it’s probably too late, this is all baked into the stock prices by now.
