Didn’t off shore wind turbines kill some whales not too long ago? It was covered up by the media.
Disaster for whom?
All that mattered was the billions of dollars that went to government to industry insiders.
I don’t get it. The punchline is hiding in there somewhere, but I cant find it.
When my boys were little, I taught them my variation on an old joke, which I think is a lot more funny:
ME: My uncle lost his nose in an industrial accident.
SON: my goodness! how does he smell?
ME: just awful!
Now that’s a joke
Speaking of windy ones (I just saw this story in the Fri WSJ,) mentioning that our reliable Congress passed a 1.TRILLION Super-spending environmental bill, with a longer description of the pointing out the many millions that goes for all manner of waste, fraud and abuse, that is the money wastes, commits frauds and abuses the taxpayers...I just noticed it, as I say, but I think you can google it or look it up on the news anywhere now. Friday night. Congress. Kevin and the boys. I would have posted this as it is supposed to be posted, but I am to old,old, dumb and clumsy.
“backed into a propeller”
“disaster!” (Dis-Assed-Her)
Took me a minute to figure it out. Groan!
diss assed her
I drove down the Columbia River Gorge on Saturday on the north side of the gorge on WA-14. There were hundreds of wind turbines on the Oregon side of the river and NOT ONE was turning. The weird thing is the turbines on the north side of the river (the Washington side) WERE turning, albeit rather slowly.
Every time I see that spectacle of hundreds or thousands of those machines sitting there generating NOTHING I reflect on the pitiful nature of this industry. The machines typically have a capacity factor of 28% (actual output divided by nameplate rating over a year long period). The only entity that would invest in any asset with that horrible utilization is GOVERNMENT.
Lots of wind studies and costs analysis.
Conclusion was that wind turbines were only feasible with the current government subsidies in place at that time.
*The government subsidies have continued since that period of 1981.
Thanks, FRiends. Shouldn’t have to work that hard. I still like mine better
Sorry. Maybe I am stupid, but I still don’t get it. Diss is disrespected.
Dis = negate or remove
as = ass (rear end, buttocks)
t = ed
er = her
She backed into a propeller it dis assed her.
If they put up too many windmills, the wind will slow down. Tell that to a greenie beenie. When they say that’s crazy, respond.with, kind of like global warming.
The legacy of wind turbines. Millions of worn-out wind turbine blades, containing poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonates. They cant be recycled so they are left to rot. #GreenEnergy pic.twitter.com/N9a94oC0sa— John Lee Pettimore (@JohnLeePettim13) February 4, 2023
Nothing a few trillion tax dollars can’t fix and mandates that the sheep buy this expensive unreliable electricity.
