Gone with the wind: Energy output dented by wind drought

[excalibur]

Doh!

Any electricity source that relies on in the weather, wind or soar, is always suspect.

You cannot run a power grid relying on the unreliable.

Wind speeds fell dramatically in 2023, slowing turbines and decreasing renewable energy production across the United States even as billions of dollars were invested in building new wind power plants.

Wind energy proponents say breezes have increased in 2024, but critics warn the 2023 dip demonstrates the risks to the stability of the energy grid when it is even partially reliant on renewable sources tied to the weather.

“The intermittent, weather-dependent nature of wind turbines make them such a bad fit with the grid,” Ken Davis, a corporate executive with over 40 years experience in the electric and gas industry, said.

Damn that Globull Warming. Always fucking it up for the environmental whackos.

If every liberal on this board went outside and blew, that might help produce some energy...who knows when was the last time they saw the sun.

Unfortunately, they are completely full of hot air, which would contribute immensely to global hockey stick warmering.
