sorry comrades
and those new dark trendy greens
the truth is coming out
Wind turbines: are they worthy of being in our renewable mix?https://www.riteon.org.au/wind-turb...rKp7dDkWLIy86YFREbBa_H-kmv167za9m0A9YWlGZsqSAThere is no doubt that Australia has to include renewables into our energy mix going forward. The problem is, the much touted Wind Turbines, are falling short of their anticipated benefits, and indeed given the harm they are causing, may not be suitable to be considered in this mix. The unrealistic urgency which appears to be driven as much by money as it is by climate consciousness is causing contracts to be signed before due diligence has been performed. Politics and profits appear to be taking precedent over health and safety.
One would assume the requirements of each method we use for alternative energy to coal must at least pass the following basic tests.
- Safe to people’s health
- Safe for the environment
- Provide affordable stand alone energy ( ie without relying on ongoing subsidies)
- Provide reliable energy
- Have a small carbon footprint.
So lets review the Wind Turbines score care
As at the end of 2017 there were
85 wind farms in Australia, totalling 4,816 MW in capacity

A quality source. Just another bunch of right wing nutbags that can't even raise their own money.
