The more wind turbines we have the more useless they are
There goes those plans to cover the continental shelf with talismen to the Wind Gods.
New research shows wind turbines off the East Coast of the US could end up stealing as much as a third of the energy from other wind turbines downstream. And in some conditions, the turbulent wake they leave might stretch out 55 kilometers behind them. This effect is worst on turbines in the same “farm” but could even affect other wind farms a long way off.
The wake effect will be strongest in summer. We’ll just have to ask everyone to turn off their air conditioners then?
Scientific civilizations do this sort of research before they commit $10 trillion dollars, set up a trading scheme, and blow up the coal plants. Imagine if building a coal plant near another plant made it 30% less efficient on hot days…The more wind turbines we have the more useless they are

I posted this here on May 7 and thought it was done "Went to public library to do my census and consistent with the luck I have got the long form. About 70 WOKE questions and questions that are none of their business IMHO as they don't care about real Canadians. I just filled out the number of residents as it is starred and then just kept hitting next until the end. Had a 15 minute timer and it took me 15 minutes. Could leave comments but by then out of time and patience. 🤮"
Imagine my surprise when a census worker showed up at my door yesterday because I hadn't done. She knew I had the long form and had it with her for us to complete and I told her when and where I filled out, even approximate time of day, and she asked for confirmation code so went to work trying to find. When you are rushed naturally can't find so said that I couldn't find. Found as soon as she got back to her car and showed her before she drove off. I can't hate this country enough as I know that because I only ...
