Careful ,you will scare your horse....

Ummm... you do realize that they use wind turbines in Antarctica, no?

Kindest regards,

Will it be able to carry all of the dead weight it needs to?

Look up Gerald Gentleman power station. Sutherland Ne. They have an extra coal burning turbine they had to fire up because the wind hasn’t been able to keep up. It called the steam plant. My $300 dollar power bill has a $35 surcharge to subsidize our 3-7% energy production from wind. My bill would be $800/1000 a month if all wind power, if the wind would just blow.

Wind mills have been pumping water in Texas and the Great Plains for the past 150 years or so. Along with bob wire and the steel plow, it's a technology that helped settle the West.

Texas could have winterized those wind turbines - but they just didn't want to spend the money. The ones that kept working kept the power flowing (unlike the natural gas power generators that failed).

There's an excellent article in the most recent issue of Texas Monthly that explains in detail what went wrong. This time, will the state actually address the problem? Probably not.

Good luck to all,

A windmill pumps water into a stock tank for storage and use at a later date. An aero motor or a dempster will pump for 100 years if you keep oil in the head.
Marking electricity with a windmill is kind of the same but completely different. No storage and a 20 year life span.

Do you think if the powers that be get rid of gas and oil, the population will be happy with the new nuclear power plants needed to supply everything, including the electric cars? I don't think so.

That's funny. Norway is scheduled to have all new vehicles to be electric by 2025. That's right around the corner. Why is the world moving away from oil? Who wants to continue using oil? The answer to the second question is easy.

And last night the wind took out the power here for awhile...

Oh no, it has the stamp of approval from the Feds. Would they lie to us??

They may want to eliminate the steps

I want to continue using oil, coal too. We could continue at current production for 200 years and will still have 1400 years of coal on hand.

Norway runs on waterfalls coming down the mountains. I think I heard like 95% of their electrical power is hydroelectric.

We run on only like 12% hydroelectric.

The Susquehanna River runs thorough my county. There are so many dams on the river, no more will fit.

I’ve seen pictures of Niagara falls. Doesn’t seem to be any turbines there. Huge populations on both sides.
