Wouldn’t nuclear energy be less impactful?

Yes.

Asteroid energy would be more impactful.

This reply completely escapes me.

The linked article I posted yesterday highlighted the fact that the slaughter of eagles and other winged species had been underestimated because predators and carrion eaters cleaned up many carcasses before they could be tallied. The ecologist I highlighted is out there at night, filming with night vision technology proving that point.

“Green Energy,” one more example of the government, and financial interests controlling the narrative. This is supposed to be an open, free society, living under the umbrella provided by the First Amendment. Just think how many things would be different if we could just discuss pros and cons of policy decisions openly.

I hate wind farms. They are a blight on the landscape. Maybe if we pass a law that says they all have to look like Dutch windmills???

Indeed, follow the money. Even the blades have been determined to be hazardous waste which has to be buried. Kinda like lithium batteries, which are manufactured through highly toxic chemical processes. There is a reason that the manufacturing is source to China and 3rd countries. Could not be manufactured in the U.S.

"Saving the planet." What leftist propaganda costing the American taxpayer billions!

Can ‘Clean Energy’ Schemes Get Any Crazier?

The US Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management recently designated two Wind Energy Areas in deepwater areas off the Oregon coast. BOEM is also reviewing offshore wind energy development options for the Gulf of Maine, Central Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and maybe Great Lakes.

They’re part of Team Biden’s plan to deploy 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030 and 15,000 MW of floating offshore wind energy capacity by 2035. Capacity is what the turbines could generate, when the wind is blowing at optimal speeds, perhaps 30-40% of the year.

30,000 MW is what 2,500 12-MW turbines could generate. It’s enough to meet New York State’s current peak electricity needs on a hot summer day. Add the electricity required to replace gasoline cars and natural gas furnaces and stoves, meet surging AI, data center and streaming video demands, and charge grid-scale backup batteries – and New York alone would likely need 10,000 12-MW offshore turbines.

Meeting the soaring electricity needs of all US states would require hundreds of thousands more.

BOEM nevertheless insists that “Offshore wind is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new clean energy industry, tackle the climate crisis, and create good-paying jobs, while ensuring economic opportunities for all communities.”

Note to be outdone in baseless puffery, the Department of Energy extols the Administration’s goal of “decarbonizing” the entire US electric grid by 2035 and says “offshore wind is especially well-suited” for generating “clean energy.” Two-thirds of all US offshore wind potential, it says, exists over ocean areas so deep that turbines must be mounted on floating platforms anchored to the seafloor by mooring lines tied to suction piles sunk into bottom sediments.

You stated how impactful this "green energy" crap is on every aspect of the biosphere called Earth.

Darthfuster stated, nuclear would be less impactful.

My response is both a pun and that nothing greater than the "green energy" religion is more impactful than a trio of "earth killer" asteroids.

Yes, honest discussions of such consequence should be the foundation, but those pushing these agenda, care nothing but achieving their goals.

There goals are simply another road to control/tyranny.

So a guy has to wonder,
If it costs 1 million dollars each to buy the big rig, lease the land, purchase the concrete, upkeep and maintain it ,insure it .

What's the back story ?


Does the giant company double their money ? Quadruple their money ,

And does the state , local or federal government kick in half a pant load to assist them ?

Has anyone seen a reduction in their electric bill ?
Because of the " free" energy?

I’ve had 35 panels on the house for 10 years now. I leased them. The money I have saved in kwh costs over these 10 years is enough to buy a new vehicle. I bought rural land and I will get them again there, but put them on the ground on a timer so they rotate throughout the day. Not done for the environment, or to be green, but to be self sufficient and get off the utility tattay.

So I have researched windmills for power generation to supplement. I have a recreation center in my suburb that has a windmill. But it’s nothing like these gigantor mother fucker windmills in this OP. It’s like 12 feet tall, has a swivel head that rotates 360 degrees, I’ve never seen that thing not spinning when I go up there as it’s next to my city building where I need to go several times a year. This windmill I’m referring to isn’t an eyesore, is no danger to birds of any kind. So I wonder why this type of windmill isn’t being discussed more. All I can do is fathom a guess is the utility companies don’t want it becoming popular as more people would take to making their own power nullifying these massive wind farms, etc. I know from 10 years ago when getting my panels on the roof how much the municipality fought me to be able to turn them on. It’s legal and on the books, IE allowed by law, even 10 years ago when installed. But the city building inspector fought it, by delaying inspection. Then the city electrical inspector did the same and made my installer change something absolutely pointless just to delay more. I guess my point is if more people, that can, could make their own power via the things I have listed here, these massive solar and wind farms just wouldn’t be needed. But you damn well know they don’t want that. My goal for my rural property is to be mostly self sufficient as it relates to utilities. I have city water and power at the curb but I also have like a 97-98% chance of hitting ground water via well as the area is rich in ground water. I just want city water as a backup in case my well pump breaks.

Just this week on SF I’ve seen a big solar farm wrecked from hail which was surprising to me as my panels have been subjected to hail with no damage. So this solar farm had to be using some chintzy ass thin panels. And now this, with these big wind farms killing eagles, and being a got damn nuisance and from reading intel, a big waste of money. I guess the powers that be are up to their same tricks of putting in chintzy shit, NOT wanting citizens to make their own juice, and ripping off the government.

There are three farms here with wind generators.

One of them has two of them .
