Maybe the wind wasn’t blowing hard enough. Otherwise I’ll call your deflection, bull fuckin’ shit.

Go ahead,………….give it your best shot.


Show us the Wind Turbines that are not hooked to the power grid.

You are out of your depth.

I you obviously know 0 about wind turbines, if you drive by a wind turbine farm, as I frequently do, and you see half of the turbines working and half siting still it is reasonably obvious it has nothing to do with the wind.

Not talking about wind turbines not being hooked to the grid, it's the capacity of the grid to transmit the potential power of both wind and hydro electric projects. Which is why you never see all the turbines on line.
You think a power company would erect ?

You’re going to have to do better than that. Go ahead, give it another shot (the map is there).

Until then, a new study is out showing the impact of carbon emissions and their link to different regions around the world.

"The paper is the first to systematically assess regional scale impacts of climate change and their relation to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions."


Past studies rarely connected impact to greenhouse gas emissions directly, said Stone, a research scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in an interview with ThinkProgress. “Linking what’s happening locally to what’s happening globally is something that hadn’t been done in the context of looking at these impacts.”

The year-long study applied computational calculations, or algorithms, onto 118 suspected climate change impacts observed from 1970s to 2010, like coast line erosion, wild fires, ice loss, changes in range of species, and loss of agricultural output from all regions listed in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. Stone said the team found “a confident link that our emissions altogether had been an important contributor to the trends in at least two thirds of the cases,”

What I think about has nothing to do with the fact that many wind turbines sit idle, maybe it's your turn to have a go at, prove me wrong.
