You know that treaty we never signed? Trump says that situation isn’t going to change.
Heads explode.
but what about those wind turbine technicians they will be out of jobs?
They can move to Holland and get jobs there.
Plenty of windmills in Holland.
And it’s cheaper to go out for lunch there anyway; you can go Dutch...
Wind turbine repair tech is the fastest growing field because the giant bird vegomatics are so darn unreliable!
“There is really only one way to have a prayer of convincing a country under assault by Boko Haram or ISIS, or by Ebola or Malaria, or by mass unemployment or the threat of war, to adopt such a program: if you see the biggest, most successful economies on earth doing it first.”
More importantly there’s money for them for signing it - all the despots of the armpits of the world will get rich with this scheme. They’d be fools to not sign on.
Since were talking about wind turbine engineers, I have a question. From one engineer to another....
On a recent trip between Chicago and Indianapolis, on a very windy day, I noted that the Wind Farm between Renselear and Lafayette was complete shut down. Sustained winds at probably 20 MPG with gust likely at 30-40. It was a tough drive in a pick up truck. I was anxious to see windmills generating MEGA-GOBS of energy as I approached the area on I-65. I was disappointed to find that EVERY windmill/turbine for as far as the eye could see in every direction was STOPPED, not turning.
I supposed it was because the wind was blowing too hard (it is the only nonsensical explanation that seemed plausible). Can anyone smarter than I explain for sure why none of the wind farm turbines were spinning.
(I’ll listen to the answer off the air)
The Democrats are so upset?
OK.
Submit the Paris whatever it is to the Senate for ratification.
EXCELLENT! Thanks for posting.
Great research as usual.
How does a conservative like you, survive in Chicago?
Thanks

How many Wind Farm and Solar Farms are there in Germany and France?
Ha! We take that same drive from KY to see the grandkids in Chicago. A couple of weeks ago we noticed the same thing. Strong winds and none turning. Well, there were two turning.
I don’t understand why they can’t just feather the props in high wind to keep their normal speed up. I’m with you. I’d like to know why they have to be shut down completely.
I can’t answer it for your specific location, but here’s what happened near me:

And I don’t think this byline is even from April 1...
I think the US should only give grant money for scientists who find ways to reduce CO2. If the are not working on a solution they don’t get the grant
I don’t know exactly when it happened, but, at some point in the past our president became a dictator/King and our Congress became a place for those with connections to go get rich or stay rich or increase their riches.
I think someone already said it. LARGE wind turbines work best in steady wind that does not change direction. If it's gusty, or the winds constantly change direction, the entire structure of the wind turbine is at risk.
So it’s the direction of the wind not being constant. I did not know that.
