Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing

In another you ‘couldn’t make it up’ moment, the wind industry has been busted burning tonnes of diesel to keep turbines spinning in an effort to prevent them freezing solid during cold weather. In Scotland, the ‘fossil fuel’ consumption outbreak involves burning diesel in local generators, which send power into the turbines to keep them … Continue reading Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing

Too Cool For School: Frozen Wind Turbines Being ‘Warmed’ Up Using Diesel Powered Generators

Wind power is a fickle critter: wind too slow (no power); wind too fast (no power); wind turbine frozen solid (again, no power). The habit of freezing up during cold spells is just another reason why wind power will never amount to a meaningful power source, not now, not ever. Sure, there are ‘solutions’ when … Continue reading Too Cool For School: Frozen Wind Turbines Being ‘Warmed’ Up Using Diesel Powered Generators
