When the wind isn’t knocking the stuffing out of these things (see above), it struggles to keep them spinning as more turbines get added to any given location. Known as ‘wake effects’, every wind turbine downwind from another receives less air and/or a less direct flow of air towards its blades, reducing efficiency and therefore … Continue reading Power Vacuum: Adding More Turbines Means Less Wind Power Output

Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
Apart from the tendency of these things to self-incinerate and set the country ablaze, there’s their ability to wreck local weather patterns and, in the mother of all ironies, raise local temperatures - beyond those of the surrounding areas unaffected by these whirling wonders. Spear hundreds of 300m high wind turbines into ocean environments and … Continue reading Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
Germany has been overrun with 30,000 giant industrial wind turbines and millions of solar panels. Its climate cult reckons that the wholesale environmental destruction wreaked so far is all about saving the planet. It’s an argument that holds all the logic of amputating an entire leg to prevent a septic toe from doing any further damage … Continue reading How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
Climate Changing: Germany’s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts
Wind turbines were meant to improve the weather, now it seems these things are making it worse. Bear in mind the weather worriers are fretting about changes of a degree or two (apparently an increase of just 1.5°C means instant disaster and pumping it up by 2°C means an irreversible catastrophe). There is already plenty … Continue reading Climate Changing: Germany’s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts
