Wind Power Scandal Explodes & ‘Heads Must Roll’: James Delingpole Lists Britain’s ‘Most Wanted’

The Truth! Wish we could get some traction here in USA to Shut Down Wind Turbines. America’s top investor, the Sage of Omaha, Warren Buffett put it succinctly:

“I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire’s tax rate. For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.”…

A note for Willem Post

Hello Willem Post - Sorry, I simply do not know how to do a spreadsheet. I am 79 years old and most details of the internet have escaped me.  But you have a very good idea;  I hope someone will spot this and do the project for you. 

  To me, it is self-evident that actual power production (and the lack thereof) will eventually prove to be the deciding factor in whether the turibnes will endure.  From what I have seen in monitoring the UMPI turbine's poor output for 2.5 years,  inland…

UMPI ten-day actual power production

UMPI's turbine website reports power produced for the past ten days (10/02 thru 10/11) totaled 20192 kwh, or an average of 2019.2 kwh per day. This is better than usual; there has been some windy weather lately, for a change.

In the ten days 9/11 thru 9/20, the UMPI turbine produced only 688 kwh per day. The turbine's "capacity" (which wind turbines rarely if ever produce) is 600 kw, or more than 14,000 kwh per day (600 kW X 24hrs)

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/
