Any doubt which side he would be on in this fight to save the planet? Aaaaand those on the “other side” added to climate change issue by burning him likely with wood. Had they used solar it would have been a much better way of getting rid of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, all those windmills are a magnificent source of clean energy but they push the Santa Anna winds further west and at higher speeds, thus fanning the flames in western California. It's like building giant fans facing the populated areas of California. Is there anything the Left can get right? -) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do they impact the direction of the airflow? I imagine there has to be some kind of a vortex effect created that alters the wind patterns in a way that wouldn't exist without the windfarms?

I imagine there has to be some kind of a vortex effect created that alters the wind patterns in a way that wouldn't exist without the windfarms? Likely not. Realistically, the amount of power a wind turbine would draw off a wind front would be negligible compared to the power of the wind front itself. Interestingly, I can't even find any data on "what is the power of a gust of wind?" So I can't even begin to approximate it. Could probably figure it out from first principles (largest turbine in the world is 164m across, and generates 9.5 MW of power. Assume a 50 kph wind, calculate the power of that wind over a 21,100 square meter front over an hour. Divide 9.5 MW by that number. That's the upper limit for the percent of energy lost by the wind to power generation. And in reality, it'll be a fraction of that, because wind is not that localized. A wind front is measured in tens of thousands of square kilometers, so the above calculation is high by a factor of...about a hundred thousand, give or take a factor of 10? There's a "butterfly effect," sure, but not a directly measurable influence under anything but strictly local (i.e. within a couple hundred feet of the turbine) measurement.

B-Man Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 We’re Number One! by John Hinderaker Original Article When it comes to energy and the environment, the United States ranks a clear number one among the world’s nations. Not only have we increased our energy production, courtesy of fracking, to the point that we are the world’s pre-eminent energy power, we have, at the same time, reduced our pollution and our CO2 emissions (if you think that matters) more than any other country. So when it comes to energy, the U.S. is the undisputed champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 in general, the closer to home you can produce energy, the better is for the planet. It's not unlike the Farm to Table trend in the food supply chain. Unfortunately when it comes to energy production most Liberals just don't want to see it from their house.
