Wind Turbines keep catching fire and an increasing number are falling over.  If a turbine falls over, does it leave a carbon footprint or just turbine footprint?

 

Here's the turbine fire in the Southern Tier in NY last month, not that anyone cares about that area of NY.

 

Farmer: Wind turbine fire in rural Western New York caused contamination to family, livestock, and land

LONDON — Shell Chief Executive Wael Sawan and the firm’s board of directors on Tuesday were shielded by security staff as climate protesters unsuccessfully tried to storm the stage at the British oil giant’s annual shareholders meeting.

The acrimonious meeting, which was held at the ExCeL London exhibition center, was repeatedly disrupted by protesters before they were removed by security staff.

This is the sort of thing that I've never understood. If you personally don't want to use oil...then don't. If you don't want the planet to use oil, then invest your time into developing alternatives to oil. Become a car designer, engineer, or architect. Simply protesting against an oil company seems pretty juvenile to me.

Because if these protesters pulled such stunts in China they'd wind up in a labor camp for 10 years.  If our government had any respect for the rule of law and public civility they'd be arrested and charged here too.  But all these radical group live in a consequence free environment.  At least for now.

Protesting on a Tuesday, they're likely all unemployed with nothing better to do.  No chance that bunch of losers are going to become a "anything" in life!

And I’d add if they don’t want to use oil…then by all means please don’t. But I’m guessing that each of these protestors consumes more than their fair share of it each and every day.

That would require reflection and dedication to self-improvement.  These folks tend to excel at being manipulated into screaming about what everyone else is doing.  Different skill set.

The idea is to pull off the desired cultural transformation without revealing the true nature of the change.  Because its certain the citizens of every nation would object, resist, and oppose such changes.  So, deceit is required.  And suppressing voices of descent and reason. 

Disguise the true intentions by substituting other well-meaning initiatives like fighting climate change which most people can get on board with supporting.  Then quietly move the goal posts toward the real objective.  Re-fashioning the social and economic arrangements of society and gaining control over the system.  Because rarely do people vote to install communism and its never voluntary.  So lie.

Thank the green-energy cult for major blackouts this summer.

 

Summer’s coming. That means sunshine, swimming, cookouts — and blackouts.

 

That’s the warning from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.

 

According to NERC, at least two-thirds of the country is at risk for major power outages this summer.

 

This extends to most everyone west of the Mississippi except for Texas.

 

Texas and much of the Midwest will be fine, the report says, so long as we don’t experience hot, windless summer days.

 

Well, that’s a relief. When do we ever get hot, windless summer days in Texas and the Midwest?

 

Part of the problem is the steady removal of fossil-fuel plants from the grid.

 

These plants are supposed to be replaced by renewables — wind and solar — but wind doesn’t work on windless days, and solar doesn’t keep your air conditioning running on steamy nights.

 

The Wall Street Journal reports the Environmental Protection Agency has made things worse with new nitrogen-oxides rules from its recently finalized “Good Neighbor Plan, which requires fossil-fuel power plants in 22 states to reduce NOx emissions. NERC predicts power plants will comply by limiting hours of operation but warns they may need regulatory waivers in the event of a power crunch.”

 

The Journal notes, “The EPA claimed the rule wouldn’t jeopardize grid reliability, but then why would power plants need waivers to prevent blackouts?”

 

Why indeed?

CRISIS BY DESIGN: 

 

Potential For Catastrophic US Electric Grid Failures This Summer A Reality. 

 

“Despite billions of federal dollars going into renewable energy, construction of wind and solar farms, as well as the needed transmission to support them, is moving at a glacial pace compared to the speed by which the Biden administration is taking coal plants offline. . . .

 

NERC’s latest summer reliability assessment wasn’t the first to identify growing reliability issues.”
