Nicely Done Texas!

Texas Has Generated More Electricity From Wind Than Coal So Far This Year

For the first time ever, wind has surpassed coal as an energy source in Texas.

Data released this month by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas shows wind created 22 percent of the electricity used in the first half of the year, edging out coal by 1%.

Oh, but be careful of the windmill cancer! LMAO!!!

Wind farms as a realistic form of significant grid energy is a joke. Stop wasting money on it. The only people who believe the hype are idiotic partisans, environmental religious zealots and those who make a good living from this scam. They’ll never be a real part of the solution without massive energy storage systems (known by their more common but dirtier sounding name, batteries!)

Use our engineering capabilities to develop nuclear power.

The bull$hit reasons why leftists say no reveals this is a religious ideology to them.

Ghastly losers, propped up by a crazed cult, like ethanol,, insanity writ large.

Ever heard of a solar sail?

Reply #10 - 07/29/19 at 08:21:24 The power density of nuclear is orders of magnitude greater than wind. Wind energy generation is a hobby that a few people get very rich from, the uninformed and environmental zealots sleep better with and a few unfortunate ones in the poorest areas are stuck with.

LOL - a joke? Well, I can see what the joke really is - and it's not wind power.

Thanks for your concern mark - it's touching...

I'm well aware of what power density is and what it means to the grid.

What my OP is all about is that this is actually a proof of concept on wind power. What about that don't you understand?

You afraid of windmill cancer? Grin

Now, when someone presents us with a way to do away with coal - I'll take it.

Yeah, nuclear is one - but by no means the only.

Look what Elon did for New Zealand. Look at the Chinese and how they're jumping on solar (and leaving us in the dust...). If trump were any kind of real businessman, he'd see that those emerging markets could propel the US onto the forefront.

But no... big oil owns the US. Fossil fuels are choking us out and all Congress does is fundraise with them in mind. It's stupid. It's myopic. It's capitalism 101.

But yeah, you keep downplaying all the other alternatives and see how that works out....

Oh please...you've got no idea what that means.

It's capitalism 101
But you're finally right about that..... it is capitalism 101. And it's the reason someone with your comprehension of the world has the opportunity with his limited skill set to be prosperous enough to afford a lifestyle higher than the vast, vast majority of the world. Even a blind squirrel like yourself finds an acorn..
