The difference between the green power fan boys and me is I have been formally educated on the subject, been to numerous wind farms, solar farms, been inside wind turbines, wind turbine control rooms, ect.
By comparison, everyone else just reads bias news articles written by people with English degrees...

Or summaries shared on Twitter.
I have two old Hondas. On any given day, there is always a chance that one will not start. There is also a chance that neither will start, so neither car is an adequate backup for the other. However, old cars are a poor analogy for inconsistent power sources.
I never need to prepare for my car working too well.
What do you do when it is cloudy and calm? What do you do when it is sunny and exceptionally windy? |

If you are in the business of wind or solar power with the first one you lose money and the second one you make money.
I say celebrate diversity. Coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind and solar, even geo thermal.
But not oil, no one likes using crude oil petroleum products for utility power generation.

I wish someone would post the cost and production as they do for the solar farms. And a follow through of longevity. The one study I found showed onshore and off shore turbines in Germany and Denmark to be at 30% failure in 15 years and 7 years |

Please don't take me wrong or as offensive. But... Why so much people in this forum see Jordan Peterson (The right wing canadian psychologist who wants to socialize pu...y) as a semi God ?
About good X evil... I noticed that media in old days was quite cretins trying to fake, make fool of people, forcing a fake image of thenselves as good guys. Today they don't try it, since it have considerable limits, but try to make people as cretins as them, to the poor cretins with no power see no harm on rich powerfull cretins.

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Some jobs are hazardous. That's why they pay more.

Not a bladeless turbine. It's more closely related to Tesla's Wydencliff tower, involving massive grounding cable network (where the second video says 'not to scale'). the electrostatic motor he uses produces almost no torque.
Oregon hates windmill workers? One of R.B.Fuller's reasons for putting wind power indoors was for easier maintenance.

Why does at least one person on this forum buy into the slander that's cast against JBP? The only thing you say that's true is that he's Canadian. Did you listen to Akira the Don? Try - TELL THE TRUTH OR AT LEAST DON'T LIE ft. Jordan Peterson
- SET YOUR HOUSE IN PERFECT ORDER BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE THE WORLD ft. Jordan Peterson (ＪＢＰＷＡＶＥ)
- I Act As if God Exists ft. Jordan Peterson ( ＪＢＰＷＡＶＥ )
- DON'T BOTHER CHILDREN WHEN THEY'RE ＳＫＡＴＥＢＯＡＲＤＩＮＧ ft. Jordan Peterson (ＪＢＰＷＡＶＥ)
Other speakers that he does that thing with are Terence McKenna, Aloan Watts, Scott Adams, and Jocko Willink.
All Darc, think for yourself.

I understood his point, immediately.
I will make it plain: the cost of using fossil fuels is incalculable.
