Renewables. The sequel.

Carrying on from my last post

Bearing in mind that tonight may be coldest night of the year so far you’d think that the renewables would be upping their game and supplying electricity at their rated capacity. However as every fool knows when the glass rises this is usually followed by a lack of wind.

Look at the top pic. barely 25% of its rated output.

Even worse is this one below. Barely 2%

Luckily I’ve got an open log fire for standby and plenty of candles for when those rolling blackouts start to happen.

Renewables.

So these so called renewables, such as wind, are going to supply us with our power for the future. just look at the picture below which is the output from one such wind farm at this minute. A paltry 3% of it’s rated capacity. And this is a cold day when power consumption is high.

or even worse the bird mincer array below. Hardly a standard to be proud of. Note that it is minus and therefore is drawing power from the national grid.

When are people going to wake up and realise they are being conned out of their money in allowing this wholesale theft in the name of the green religion?

Even the projected life of these eco crucifixes is in doubt. Supposedly with a life of twenty five years, some have failed in eight and some are actually falling down or catching fire.

Likewise with that other green religion, solar panels. You know, those things that produce bugger all electricity for approximately 50% of the day.

When will people learn.
