German taxpayers on the hook...It’s NOT me for a change!
So much for German engineering.
And this is what Owe’Malley wants to bring to Maryland and its coast.
Cheney’s wind machine.
Bush’s fault.
My comment from another thread on this issue;
“Here’s a very important point from the article. The power generated is not usable at this time, and no answer is in sight.
“In contrast to a steady one-source input, like from a nuclear or coal-fired power plant, a wind farm has many smaller sources with the output of each constantly varying with conditions like wind direction, wind speed and blade angle. Such variations lead to destabilizing energy-oscillations in the whole system that cannot be handled by the current converters. To make matters worse, the engineers have yet to fully understand the nature of the problem and to come up with any solution for it.”
The Ultimate Dying Machine.
Michael Mann’s fault.
Well, in fairness...
They had to build it quickly. Global Warming might have evaporated the ocean before the could figure out the power transmission problem.
Have they published the totals of rare German birds killed or orphaned by this ‘Green Machine’? I didn’t think so.
I do have to ask...why 100km off shore? Tides/currents? Winds? Geography? Shipping lanes? The noise?
That seems like a long way.
Google “ABANDONED WIND FARMS”, click on Images and you will see what the USA will look like when the subsidy money runs out.

At least when wind farms are offshore, copper thieves can’t pillage them without a boat.
No wind?
Gee, even a caveman could have figured that out!
And our very own Independent-Communist Senator Angus King wants to bring this wonderful development to the coastal waters of Maine...the "Saudi Arabia of Wind".
Of course, he wouldn't directly profit from all those taxpayer dollars now....Would he?
but but but..
