Windturbines: the whole truth.
IV2. It is of course quite simple to make a fair judgment on wind energy.
It is quite simple when using our common sense.
Let us compare windturbines with a "brilliant idea", that it must be possible to run electric trains whose overhead lines would have voltage at some times and none at other, completely depending on the prevailing wind force. Or to recommend very costly cars and trucks with a fuel flow towards the engine that would depend on wind speed.
Someone who sticks to such a thought must definitely be off his nut. Our entire government, including all its ministers, would consider a proposal for such trains and vehicles, madness. They would not agree with subsidies for the construction of these technical monsters and certainly not with subsidizing every kilometre these things would travel.
But why then should this be different from recommending windturbines for electricity generation, as these suffer from the same disadvantage? Do these not have a source of energy fully dependant on the random and unpredictable wind force? And do these not constitute a risk through the possible interruption of a function which is of such vital importance to our society as the reliable supply of electricity? But in the case of these machines, totally unfit for their job, they do give a subsidy for their construction and even another subsidy for their unreliable supply of a product of particularly bad quality.
But what makes a judgment on these essentially foolish contraptions different from a judgment on wind energy? The difference consists in the fact that those silly trains and vehicles are not judged in the first place by "politics" and pre-selected people and agencies with a tendency to be heavily biased by personal interests. Which, on the contrary, is exactly the case in issues related to wind energy.
There is a lot of money to be made from the wind turbine story and a certain image to be gained of a so-called person of vision. The condition is that one must be able to sell the story unscrupulously and cleverly bring it on stage, enthralling the most credulous part of the public.
In any case: any person with enough wits will be able to form a fair judgment on the behaviour and usefulness of windturbines, and thus will understand that the general public is being thrown dust into its eyes by the propagandists of wind energy, so also by the government.
