Senator Chris Back: Wind Industry must prove its CO2 abatement claims
**** In our last post we tipped a bucket on the central, endlessly repeated lie trotted out by the wind industry and its parasites, that Australia's great wind rush has resulted in substantial reductions of CO2 emissions in the electricity sector. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for … Continue reading Senator Chris Back: Wind Industry must prove its CO2 abatement claims
Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
The central, endlessly repeated lie (upon which the great wind power fraud rests) is that increasing wind power generation results in decreases in CO2 emissions. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for "renewable" energy to "reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity sector" (see s3). But, somewhere … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
