Freezing your Green Ass Off
May 27th 2009 13:32
It was though a million bloggers stopped typing and the Internet fell silent.
The question has been asked, what happens if we convert to wind power and the wind stops blowing? It turns out that windmill farms might not produce any appreciable energy for as much as one third of the time. If this third of the time happened at night when we are all sleeping, then who would care. Unfortunately, it happens at random times. So we need to ask the question:
What if Green doesn't work?
Given all they hype and coverage of the notion that wind turbines will save us all, you might ask, why would anyone stretch the truth about that? The answer may be the same as it ever was. Follow the money. Since T. Boone Pickens and Nancy Pelosi are making money off pushing wind mill farms, maybe they neglect to mention any of the downside. I am not saying that they are being deliberately disingenuous. I am merely saying that once you make money on something, it gives you a license to hype. Caveat Emptor: Let the buyer beware.
