Wind farms get noisier at night, say physicists

Noise from wind farms may be more bothersome at night than it is during the day – and not only for the reasons you might expect.

While it’s true that competing sources of background noise (such as traffic) tend to die down at night, and people are more likely to notice sounds when they’re trying to fall asleep, scientists in Australia have found that physics as well as psychology plays a role in wind-farm-induced sleep disturbances.

According to…

WIND AND SOLAR TO PROVIDE 30 PERCENT OF NEW ENGLAND ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION BY 2050

Energy systems analysts of Denmark, Ireland, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, etc., have known for decades, if you have a significant percentage of (wind + solar) on your grid, you better have available:

 

- An adequate capacity, MW, of other power plants to counteract any variations of (W+S), 24/7/365

- High-capacity, MW, connections to nearby grids

- An adequate capacity of energy storage, such as:

 

1) Pumped hydro storage

2) Hydro plants…

Exploding birds on solar farms not a myth after all

Online commenters held back nothing: "Birds exploding in mid air? You have to be one of the stupidest persons I have every come across," claimed Tom Kirkman. Lennie Seaman added, "Exploding birds? Did you not go to school when you were still capable of rational thought?"

However, the problem that remained was that Gohmert's concerns were true, and valid.

The BizPacReview report explained members of the far left fell for the mistake because, as Ruy Teixeria, a political…

Biden Begging OPEC For Oil After Nixing Keystone Pipeline Is A Slap In The Face For US Workers

August 13th 2021, 12:38 pm

Joe Biden just went cap in hand to the nations of OPEC for oil, as US workers sit waiting to produce the same product.

This proves the Democrats’ ideologically driven green agenda is unworkable, unpatriotic and unacceptable.

Imagine, for a moment, you are an oil worker from Texas. Every day when you get up and turn on the news as you drink your coffee, it seems there is an ever-growing hostility toward your…

Day 3 of 3 - Wind turbines compared to electronic voting - Eye Opening Look at the Election

The speakers on right now, August 12, 2021 at 1PM Eastern, just compared voting machines to wind turbines.

They pointed out that wind turbines in Texas, which came close to crashing their grid, did not come about because they were good but rather that a constellation of regulations, tax rules, economic incentives, suppression of energy…

Censorship on Citizens' Task Force on Wind Power - Maine (Thank you John Droz, Jr.)

Politicians and politics have brought us the monstrous wind turbines and transmission that are proliferating in Maine at the expense of taxpayers, ratepayers and the state's natural beauty. It is not only the wind developers who have lied to us about the efficacy of wind turbines, but also politicians, regulators, environmental groups, academia and the media. Frankly, wind and the current Twilight Zone state of affairs in America today have…

It's not incompetence - we are instead being subjected to a deliberate wrecking operation

According to a new Rasmussen poll, only 32% of likely U.S. voters think the country is headed in the right direction. Given how dismal the state of our Union is, it’s hard to believe nearly one in three inclined to vote think the present track is satisfactory. 

Even more incredible is why we’re so seriously off course. After six months of the Biden-Harris administration, its basically an unbroken record of failures in every area which cannot be attributed to sheer…

AUGUSTA, Maine — A referendum aiming to take down the Central Maine Power corridor will appear as one question on Maine ballots this fall after the state’s high court rejected an attempt to split it into three separate questions.

Feds consider compensating fishermen for wind energy effects on harvests

We’re still battling the coronavirus tyrants. Now come the climate authoritarians.

More than 200 climate scientists — and that’s “scientists” with an eyeball roll — have gathered to put the final touches on an agreement that will take the lessons learning from the coronavirus, meaning the idea that fear sells and sells well, and apply them to the field of environmental regulation.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
