True, but I’ve learned that the facts don’t seem to persuade people who have bought into the climate narrative. Appealing to their emotions is more apt to grab their attention - even climate activists don’t really want to see wildlife slaughtered by wind turbine blades flying around at 200 mph at the tips; nor do they want to see our environment destroyed.
I think you’re right in many ways. The Covid vaccine was where I really started to realize people were unwilling to think critically about things. It’s very sad because the propaganda about climate catastrophe grabbed a lot of MSM headlines and lured in many otherwise intelligent people. The tide is turning slow, but more people are getting the messaging and learning the truth about the Green Scam. Largely due to excellent writers on Substack and some on X.
I must be old fashioned or something, because I can’t see where wind turbines get their utility power? I also wonder if the instability of the grid has anything to do with the nacelle fires?
Thanks for your comment, Henry. Wind turbines produce power by using gear and transmissions to turn electric generators. The instability of the grid is caused by the negative effects of the wind and solar farms - lack of inertia needed to maintain a constant electric frequency, the relative inefficiency compared to coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear power systems, and the intermittent nature of wind and solar, for a few examples.
Where do wind turbines and to a lesser extent, solar farms get the utility power that controls the grid and enables intermittent power generation to add to the regulated(dispatchable) grid that can use the intermittent electricity….
I also wonder if power conditions are less stable in the neighborhood of intermittent generation.
There is power in the wind. The wind power forces the blades of the wind tower to turn. When they turn, the turbine and generator turn and generate electricity.
Yes, the local power grid is de-stabilized - but because of interconnections, that can spread to other grids. That’s what happened in Spain, causing a massive power outage for the whole country.
Solar farms generate electricity from photovoltaic cells in the solar panels.
LJFL…but solar farms or wind turbines cannot generate dispatchable energy if there is no external source of regulated power and both require regulated electricity to operate
Henry, I don't know where you got that idea. It's simply not true. What is your source? If what you say is true, why would someone who is completely "off grid" install solar panels? What use would they be? Why did ranchers all through our western history install windmills to pump water for there cattle that were ranging way out on remote areas where there was no electricity? Have you just been pulling my leg?
An off grid system uses a battery system to store electricity as the wind or sun supplies it. The battery or batteries have a specified number of cells to operate at a specific voltage, usually as a DC system.
A modern grid is AC moderated to 1\10 second and voltage to within less than 0.1% or modern electrical motors fail. Computers that control the grid connections to turbines or transformers require electricity at least that closely controlled.
Windmills for water were mechanical linkages without power or remote control
Great article, great data!! When reading this one wonders WTF?? How stupid is this? There is no bottom to what these climate cons will do.This is slowly coming to a halt, but not fast enough.!! We will use this data in our fight!Thank you oh so much for sharing this!!
What we need to do is just say no. Just quit funding these money sucking piece of crap. Then the charlatans will fold their tent real quick to run from any accountability to reclaim the damage.
The green pushers never want facts like this to be revealed. It’s lunacy at the highest levels, masked by the climate change narrative.

This article is concise and informative!
Thank you!
