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

Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Far from threatening human existence, coal and gas have, once again, literally saved thousands of American lives. A bout of what is now known as ‘extreme weather’ demonstrates how extremely stupid it is to rely upon sunshine and breezes for power. During December’s Big Freeze, millions of America’s solar panels were carpeted in snow and … Continue reading Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
Total collapses in wind and solar output during last year’s big freeze meant that hundreds of Texans froze to death. 12 months on and, apparently, little’s been learnt. During America’s big freeze last February, wind turbines were frozen solid across Texas and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event. … Continue reading Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
Worthless Wind & Solar: Once Again Output Totally Collapses During Freezing Weather
Keen to survive when dead-calm, freezing weather sets in? You’d better have access to nuclear or fossil-fuelled power sources, simply because wind and solar generators are bound to deliver absolutely nothing, at all. Texans and Germans know all about it. Now, Canadians are getting a taste of what it is when you pin your daily … Continue reading Worthless Wind & Solar: Once Again Output Totally Collapses During Freezing Weather
Winter’s Inevitable Wind & Solar Output Collapses Guarantee More Deadly Blackouts
As another northern winter bites, it’s worth revisiting the deadly renewable energy calamity that hit America’s heartland back in February. Hundreds died in freezing homes, left without electricity thanks to hundreds of iced-up wind turbines, left frozen solid, and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event. Solar fared no … Continue reading Winter’s Inevitable Wind & Solar Output Collapses Guarantee More Deadly Blackouts
Dangerous Ice Age Looms: Wind Turbines Freeze Up & Fail During Winter Cold Snaps
A changing climate’s said to justify massive subsidies to wind turbines and solar panels, but they’re as useless in frigid weather as they are when the mercury soars. The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters – getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter. Last … Continue reading Dangerous Ice Age Looms: Wind Turbines Freeze Up & Fail During Winter Cold Snaps
Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb
There’s nothing funny about being frozen to death in the dark. More than half of the 200 Texans who died during the mass blackouts that struck the midwest during February this year died of hypothermia, thanks to a lack of power. In all some 4.5 million households were left freezing in the dark when solar … Continue reading Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb
Not Cool: Another Reason to Reject Unreliable Wind Power – Iced Up Blades Totally Disables Turbines
During the recent Big Freeze, thousands of Texan wind turbines were frozen solid, incapacitated by burst of frigid winter conditions. Dead calm weather meant that those that weren’t frozen stiff, added practically nothing to the grid. While the internal workings of wind turbines (gearboxes, generators, yaw and blade pitch controls) can be kept operable with … Continue reading Not Cool: Another Reason to Reject Unreliable Wind Power – Iced Up Blades Totally Disables Turbines
Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators
After Texas’s big freeze exposed wind and solar as total failures, the wind and solar cult have been left licking their wounds. Although, to their credit, they have active despite their injured feelings, viciously blaming everything except the 5G network for the mass blackouts that followed total collapses in wind and solar output. The hard … Continue reading Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators
Alarm Call: Texan/Californian/South Australian Blackouts Herald End For Unreliable Wind & Solar
By no stretch of the imagination can entirely weather/sunshine-dependent power sources be described as “meaningful” or “serious”. The tale about the naked Emperor beguiled by his acolytes into believing his ‘attire’ was perfectly suited to every occasion, springs to mind. The gag was, of course, that the Emperor never had any clothes. Likewise, chaotically … Continue reading Alarm Call: Texan/Californian/South Australian Blackouts Herald End For Unreliable Wind & Solar
