...last eighty years. When the Vogtle plant reaches the end of its life, the blades on the wind turbine in the obscene picture in the OP will have been landfill for half a century.
I'm not some uneducated fool who obviously can't even grasp the simplest statement of the Second law of thermodynamics.
I understand that the only way to serve humanity, to provide energy to those who now live in energy poverty is to improve recovered exergy from high temperature systems.
In addition I know how steel is made.
Rather than post cartoons of religious pictures of greasy wind turbines, I open science books, scientific papers and attend events for scientists. I'm not reciting 50 year old hype about a gas with a critical temperature of -240C.
I'm proposing the phase out, on an accelerated pace, of the dangerous fossil fuels on which the wind scam depends using a gas with a critical temperature that's around +150C, 50C higher than the boiling point of water. Nor do I ignore the laws of thermodyamics in doing so. I have spent thousands of hours considering how to provide this energy using what is now waste heat rejected to the atmosphere.
The term for this is "thermodynamic efficiency." Note that this is different than "Faradaic efficiency," a term that all of the electrolysis hyping kids don't understand even as they play make believe with cute but delusional videos.
I am discussing with my son how to make nuclear plants devices for the capture and utilization of the carbon dioxide dumped in the planetary atmosphere while we all waited for the "renewable energy" nirvana that did not come, is not here, and won't come. The wait for this reactionary fantasy has set the planet afire.
I know how I define ignorance, and I really, really, really don't care how practitioners of the Dunning-Kruger effect define it.
Since I spend the majority of my absolutely free time reading scientific publications, I can spot someone completely unexposed to them in about 15 seconds.
