“So you’re saying that the device that generates power needs a separate power supply to operate the controls for the power generating device?”

At nuclear power plants there is an independent source of incoming power AND diesel generators for back-up.

The design of Fukushima specified that the diesel tanks were to be mounted inside the protective wall. Some genius put them outside the wall. Flood from Tsunami washed them away!!

What’s really funny is the “whistleblower” is not angry about the hypocrisy of it all, but rather, is whining the wind farms should be even more “green.”

You cannot dispatch “green power”. Period.
It’s the most retarded thinking imaginable.

When wind turbines aren’t producing power they are consuming it. Same with any power plant you’ve got to keep the lights on and the coffee hot. Plus the tvs on so they can watch porn or the World Cup.

IIRC, restarting the grid after the Great Northeast Blackout of 1967 was difficult as it was hard to find any electricity anywhere.

how wind power is so clean, efficient, and reliable?

ROFL!!!

Yeah ...

Leftists lie.

All the time.

About everything.

Sharks bite.

Skunks stink.

Leftists lie.

It's their nature; it's what they do.

Then these folks go out and brag about how great they are doing with all this wind power. What a joke.

Yes, that’s exactly right. When everything goes black, you’ve got a serious problem getting going again.
