The world needs more than intermittent electricity from wind and solar

The forced transition to occasional electricity generation from breezes and sunshine has proven to be ultra-expensive for the wealthy countries of Germany, Australia, Great Britain, and the USA. For the poor... devastating.

Offshore wind is a terrible way to reduce CO2 emissions

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.

Limitations on mining for electricity

Just for electricity from EV batteries, and the electricity occasionally generated from wind turbines and solar panels, the World Bank estimates that more than three billion tons of metals and minerals could be required over the next three decades.

Offshore wind may not reduce CO2 emissions

If the primary justification for building enormously expensive offshore wind megaprojects is to reduce CO2 emissions then there may be no justification.

Is Dominion’s offshore wind project ‘arbitrary and capricious’? NOAA says YES!

In NOAA's own opinion there will be eight human caused dead Right Whales caused by the project every year, even though the allowable amount is zero!
