The Folly of Wind Power

This from Chester McAteer:

Now that the Biden Crew is moving full force toward energy Oblivion perhaps it's time to think about what it will mean to our nation and the future of this country for yourself, your children and even your children's children.

I won't cover the multitude of issues with solar energy but there are equally as many problems with Wind energy. There is a maximum conversion of wind power to mechanical energy that occurs even if the wind turbine blades capture all of the wind energy. This reduces the wind velocity behind the blades to zero, think about that for a moment. This means that any real practical application is essentially impossible and the political hype is exactly that, hype!

Now, there is a physical law limitation called Betz law that shows the maximum achievable extraction of energy from wind using a wind turbine only 59%. Now, the problem is that once you factor all the inefficiencies and losses to rotor blade friction gearbox loses and aerodynamic drag, not to mention potential generator and converter losses what you end up with in modern wind turbines anywhere between 32%, perhaps 35% conversion efficiency at best. Even if technology were to ever reach the peak of Betz law you still have a ceiling of a 59% conversion. There's also a problem with locations, there are actually so few that are favorable for wind generation.

The government, especially now under a Biden Administration, has been going full force toward a completely unsustainable energy foundation for this country and the people will pay the ultimate price for the short-sightedne ss brought about by a skewed ideology that is neither based in science nor reality for that matter. If you look at the number of reliable coal-fired plants and indeed coal mines that have been driven out of business over the last three decades it's easy to see the looming issues moving forward.

That along with recent announcements of curtailing or eliminating petroleum drilling and pipelines doesn't bode well for either our economic nor national security. On top of all those issues the government has not nor apparently will it issue any new permits for new nuclear power plants, nor, it seems, that the government is renewing extensions on existing permits. Of course, fundamentally none of these subjects are within the preview of government Constitutional Authority. Now as we are seeing, even the natural gas industry is in danger of the over zealous climate kooks and the regulators who have swallowed the false narrative.

What they are creating is an absolute energy and economic disaster and the Obamaisk Biden will apparently make good on his minions promises to transform this country in a fundamentally negative way that will effect every person in this country in ways that only nightmares imagine.

All the claims about renewable energy are based on false pretenses and premise that these fringe energy sources are an economically and technologically

feasable solution for our country and the world, but like other countries, such as Germany, who has learned that the loss of energy generation and capacity was all built upon an green ideological dream that is rapidly turning into a nightmare that will be generationly devastating
