Leave intellectual pygmies in charge, and weather-dependent wind and solar is what you get. However, not only does their output depend entirely on the weather and/or where the Sun sits in the sky, wind and solar’s capacity to (occasionally) generate power can be eradicated in a matter of minutes. A few hailstones from the heavens … Continue reading Hurricane Havoc: Twisters Wipeout Thousands of Solar Panels Across US

Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
The wind industry started out as absurd, and only became more so over time. The turbines became bigger, the blades longer and capacities went from piddling 1.5 MW machines to 18MW monsters - albeit so large they can barely stand up against stiff breezes, let alone a full-blown hurricane. As the blades grew, their habit … Continue reading Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
Reputation Shredded: Public Perception of Offshore Wind Industry Turns Totally Toxic
There’s a fury burning among America’s Atlantic coastal communities, and it’s all directed at the offshore wind industry. There hasn’t been a subject that has unified and directed anger among these communities like the foreign-owned and government-backed wind power outfits determined to destroy lives and livelihoods of those who depend on the sea. Wiping out … Continue reading Reputation Shredded: Public Perception of Offshore Wind Industry Turns Totally Toxic
Tornado Terror: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines No Match For America’s Twisters
Wind power is described as the pinnacle of ‘distributed’ generation systems - watching 250m turbines being distributed far and wide by Cyclones, Typhoons and Hurricanes certainly gives that impression. Although, we’re not sure that wind acolytes really had disintegrating and self-immolating turbines in mind when they began mouthing off these things being spread from horizon … Continue reading Tornado Terror: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines No Match For America’s Twisters
Blown Away: Atlantic Hurricanes Threaten Total Offshore Wind Turbine Wipeout
The purpose of a power generation source is, funnily enough, to generate power as and when it’s needed, not merely to withstand the vagaries of the weather. Wind speeds barely need to reach gale force and these things go into automatic shutdown, as appears on German turbine maker, Siemen’s website – which has this to say … Continue reading Blown Away: Atlantic Hurricanes Threaten Total Offshore Wind Turbine Wipeout
