The disintegration of the turbine blade and resultant pollution that forced the closure of Nantucket’s beaches should scuttle the offshore wind scam. But it’s only the tip of Big Wind’s problems.
The writing was on the wall for the offshore wind industry when investigators in Britain discovered the true cost. People at the Telegraph and the Global Warming Policy Forum had to penetrate the wall of secrecy and fraud perpetrated by politicians, public servants and the wind industry to find the truth.
it was apparent that offshore wind will never fly economically and it will only get worse as supply chains are stretched further and more problems are revealed.
Strictly speaking the cost is somewhat academic because the whole shooting match is approaching the end game due to the implications of the ABC of intermittent energy and the wind droughts documented by the Australians Anton Lang and the Miskelly team. The meteorologists never bothered to mention low wind periods although mariners and millers must have experienced them for centuries.
Then the wind planners never checked the wind supply. Now around the world grids are approaching the tipping point where conventional power runs down to the point when the system is likely to fail every windless night. Germany, Britain and South Australia have got there and they survive by importing power and shedding power-intensive industries.
