Don’t be stupid about wind turbines!
Don’t be stupid about wind turbines! 🌀
Wind turbines don’t run all of the time.
Wind turbines have to be started by the electric power in the grid just like a car needs a battery and a starter to start. It takes energy to get the blades moving then they coast along with the wind once they’re moving.
Wind turbines like a car can be shut off when their is no market for their power, wind speed is too low or strong, or maintenance is required. They have both braking using the motors and physical brakes like a car. Just because it’s windy doesn’t mean that a wind turbine will be turning or generating electricity.
Like running a car engine, running a wind turbine puts wear on the bearings and other equipment like the blades – you only want to run it when necessary. Plus you have to have somewhere to dump the power – if you loose the grid connection the turbine must stop or the wires or turbine motor will burn up as electricity must be consumed as soon as its produced.
Will 2023-2024 be the Warmest Years on Record due to a Forecasted Super El Nino?
Rapidly developing El Niño set to boost global warming
A double whammy of natural climate cycles and human-caused climate change will likely make next year Earth's warmest on record, climate experts tell Axios.

They’ll never let carbon emissions go unchecked, that’s pure madness. That’s what people like to tell themselves while buying the latest organic products, electric cars and heat pumps to heat their homes. It’s all the fault of the greedy Republicans and those who don’t get it, say the virtue signaling Democrats who hope to pick up a few more votes come election day. It’s not bad politics or a marketing strategy, but it’s not good for our future either.
They say most likely this decade, we will reach 1.5 degrees global warming. Possibly as soon as 2027, although on our current projectory we are looking at 2028 or 2029 most likely. That’s just a fact, something that that is going to mean the most optimistic carbon budget will be used up as carbon levels continue to spiral upwards.
It’s going to mean more severe weather, more heat waves and floods. It will change the probability of severe weather, meaning storms unlikely to happen in a lifetime are more common. You can pretend the inevitable isn’t happening unless you turn on the news or look out your window.
