The intermittency of wind power greatly reduces the efficiency of the gas fired backup generators. That is, a lot more gas has to be burned to generate the same amount of electricity. This means that wind power will not reduce emissions by very much.
What we need is supply chain emission analysis.
Today, the only supply chain for the parts and components for wind turbines and solar panels are made with fossil fuels!
A transition would take 80 years, not eight.
The fight in Christiana provides yet another snapshot of the land-use conflicts over renewables that are raging all across the country.
Russia and China are World War I and II historians, and both know that the country that controls the minerals, crude oil, and natural gas, controls the world!
Electricity ratepayers are getting crushed in Europe and American states that copy Europe's energy mistakes.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is taking comments on ways to limit the damage that renewables can do to grid reliability.
CFACT's Gabriella Hoffman produced a dynamite new video on Biden Administration plans to construct massive wind farms on what is currently Idaho farmland. WATCH NOW
ushing to build a big bunch of incredibly expensive giant wind arrays that are far bigger than anything built in the world to date is bad engineering and worse environmental policy.
The looming threat of numerous blackouts is their fault.
"There is reason for grave concern."
The amount of storage needed to make renewables reliable is so huge that even if the cost dropped fantastically we still could not afford it.
When does it make sense to build 122 giant industrial turbines that can’t operate for nearly half a year?
The reality is that wind and solar are subsidized by seventy percent.
