from the article

  • ‘The ‘experts’ (we should actually call them ‘leftist charlatans’) said that global warming would cause SE Australia to get hotter and windier,” says reader.“Instead it’s very cold with hardly any wind. But they blame this calmness and cold on … global warming. What a joke.”

Sort:  

Imagine, the windmills have to be shutdown when it gets too windy!

not hard to imagine...I come from West Texas...we use a chain tied to an anvilas a wind gauge there. depending on how many links of the chain is horizontal let's us know how fast the wind is blowing.

If the anvil blows away..it was a HIGH WIND.

Is all becoming a joke now
So many things said about 🌐 warming
And the reality is different
Keep it up great article

thanks . I try.

Global warming..... the simple explanation for global phenomena for which scientists can't provide an alternative explanation......

scientists can't provide an alternative explanation
of course they can, and they have.
it's the sun...son.

the phenomena is well understood.
the problem is it does NOT fit the narrative.

The global warming idea gets promoted in June. well over here in the southern hemisphere it's cold. "global warming?" let's call it seasons

really great post thanks a lot for sharing and keep on posting ;)

Thank you, I intend to.

Solar is a much more reliable technology and a lot less of an eye sore!!

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Mining electricity for those mining rigs!

Global temperature fluctuates; nothing new there. Wind farms are great in places that have wind energy to harvest. I guess that's commonsense, right?

in theory
problem is they HAVE to be subsidized.
or they get abandoned.
what does that tell you?

No, that doesn't tell me much but it certainly raises more questions, such as: Are existing wind farms in and of themselves profitable? Under what set of circumstances could wind farms be profitable in and of themselves? How do the entitites doling out the subsidies profit from subsidizing wind farms?

Not to mention that the South Australian government has just bought a few batteries from Elon to connect up to their wind farms for when the wind doesn't blow.

If wind farms all had sufficient storage capacity that would change everything. Wind would be a viable alternative then.

That is the trick, how much storage is sufficient?

how ever much it takes.
Kind of like a car battery...enough to 'do the job' when the alternator is not turning.

I have yet to see some of the technical details, therefore it is unclear if the batteries will last 4 minutes, 4 hours or 4 days.
