How does this pan out against the fact that the wind industry doesn't produce as much as 1% of the energy that fossil fuel plants?
On the entire planet, the wind industry doesn't produce 5 of the 580 exajoules of energy that humanity consumes each year. Fossil fuels produce well over 500 of those exajoules. International Energy Agency; Key World Energy Statistics
Care to do any math?
1/15 = 6.7% Now adjust the figures for the fact that the wind industry produces 1% of the energy that the dangerous fossil fuel industry produces. 6.7%/0.01. The wind industry is 670% worse than the fossil fuel industry, if in fact, your unreferenced claim of 1/15 is true.
The wind industry would die instantaneously if people had to live on it. It entrenches rather than replaces the fossil fuel industry. Without the right to mine, burn, and dump the waste of dangerous natural gas, the wind industry would be even more useless than it is.
We spent a trillion bucks on this useless temporary junk in the last ten years alone, and we are living in times in which the rate of fossil fuel waste dumping is the highest ever recorded, and the degradation of the planetary atmosphere is proceeding at the highest rate ever recorded.
I smell a rat here, and it's not a rat dumped by anti-wind "terrorists" the judge and jury here notwithstanding. r
The scientific literature is filled with descriptions of the effect of wind turbines on birds; I referenced an entire scholarly book on the topic recently in this space. Wind Energy and Wildlife Interactions
What's your guess, that all these people gathered from all around the world because some anti-wind "terrorist" threw a few dead rabbits under the whirling vanes a grotesque and ugly (and useless) wind farm.
The wind industry is a function of wishful thinking and willful ignorance. It's only function is to serve as lipstick on the gas industry pig.
The defense of the useless wind industry knows no bounds. It didn't work; it isn't working; and it won't work to address climate change. Nobody needs to strew dead rabbits either to prove it. The signature of it's grotesque failure is written in the planetary atmosphere. In the week ending November 19, 2017 the concentration of dangerous fossil fuel waste was 406.14 ppm. Ten years ago, just as the squandering of irreplaceable resources on the wind industry began to reach amounts of over $100 billion US/year, the figure was 382.99 ppm in the same week.
Heckuva job wind apologists; heck of a job.
A scientist is a person who looks at data to refute or confirm a theory. The data here is pretty clear. The ever more tortured defenses of so called "renewable energy" - the name is a joke by the way since it is hardly "renewable" - is strictly and totally involved with dogmatic belief.
The wind industry is a crime against all future generations, not only because it encourages the use of dangerous natural gas, but because it is environmentally unacceptable on its own.
