Don't Go Being Politically Insane You Climate Change Skeptics

Throwing this link here, have only dipped into it very briefly so far.

I cant speak for the American ones, but ours last far longer than that. The one near me in Nymphsfield has been there since December 1996, and its still cranking out watts.

Ok. Tell us the cost to install and maintain and compare to the energy production.

Years ago, there was an article in the BBC ( I may have linked in previously in this thread) which featured scientists proposing we need to use gene editing to make it so humans can't eat red meat to save the planet.

These people are evil and there are no coincidences

Many dangerous scientists and with Universities and education complex now selling certainty it is even worse. Adding to that the change in culture where Politics is the only remaining religion.

Nothing says "climate crisis" like 3rd world prostitutes;

Why it's almost like somebody is trying to 'un=develope/de-industrialize' these countries! Next stop: Mud huts and burning cow dung?

Well... it IS their winter

Since mid 80's, so after 40 years of terrible Global Warming...

Who knows about any one individual plant but wind power installed costs are in most places around 1000-1500eur/kWe and full-load hours around 3000 / year. O&M costs are usually 2-3% of total capital investment so assuming 3% O&M and say 7% capital recovery factor that'd make 100-150 eur per 3 MWh or 33-50 eur/MWh, in usd about 10% more than that

This looks promising. Some kind of re-assessment of climate alarmism, sponsored by Uncle Sam

Quote

What is needed is some sane middle ground that realistically assesses climate risk.  An honest assessment of climate change science is a starting point (the CWG Assessment Report), which acknowledges uncertainties and areas of disagreement.  It seems like Secy Wright has the right approach to energy policy (from his Foreword):

Climate change is real, and it deserves attention. But it is not the greatest threat facing humanity. That distinction belongs to global energy poverty. As someone who values data, I know that improving the human condition depends on expanding access to reliable, affordable energy. Climate change is a challenge—not a catastrophe. But misguided policies based on fear rather than facts could truly endanger human well-being.

We stand at the threshold of a new era of energy leadership. If we empower innovation rather than restrain it, America can lead the world in providing cleaner, more abundant energy—lifting billions out of poverty, strengthening our economy, and improving our environment along the way

They want to go and edit everyone's DNA for their pet political projects? 

I think we had a few books and movies about that sort of futuristic shit.

These are the same people that were behind the covid / covid mrna vax conspiracy. They see those books as guidelines to carry out their sadistic wet dream of a utopian future they want.

Why the fuck are progressives wanting to do all the things Hitler REALLY wanted?

Bad energy and starvation, always a winning combination:

British fishing was in decline about 4 decades before the first wind farm was implanted. Talk about cherry picking.

Cherry picking? Stupid energy policy is making things worse.

The Commerce Department just opened a Section 232 “national security” probe into imported wind turbines and parts—quietly on Aug. 13, publicly today. That matters because 232 isn’t a press release; it’s a legal on-ramp to more tariffs on top of the new 50% duty already applied to the steel and aluminum content in turbines and components.

Translation: wind hardware just got pricier, and it could get pricier still.

Here’s the operational read: the U.S. wind build is heavily import-dependent for blades, drivetrains, and electrical systems. In 2023, the U.S. brought in about $1.7B of wind equipment, with roughly 41% from Mexico, Canada, and China. If you tax the metal inside the machine—and potentially layer more 232 duties later—you squeeze project profit margins, renegotiate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs—long-term contracts to sell the power), or delay FIDs. None of those outcomes lowers your Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE—think of it as the average lifetime price per unit of electricity once you add up all the costs).

 

With all the political meddling, including PRC money flowing into the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats, it seems nearly impossible to me to believe any total cost per kWhr for wind or solar.
