Wind power is sold as technological progress, but German professor Ludecke disagrees and has called it a return to the Medieval Ages. His calculation puts Germany's onshore wind output at an annual average of just 3.6 watts per square meter, whereas a coal plant comes in at 7,000 watts.... That gap cannot be fixed with a taller tower or a larger blade. Wind is weak, scattered and weather dependent. And the output collapses quickly: half the wind speed and the available power falls to one-eighth. To harvest wind, turbines must be spread across vast areas, connected by new transmission lines and backed by reliable power plants for when the wind drops. Civilization advanced by replacing diffuse, unreliable energy with concentrated controllable power. Net Zero reverses that progress.show more

🇺🇸 ENERGY SEC. WRIGHT: WIND AND SOLAR CAN’T REPLACE RELIABLE ENERGY "The problem with wind is that the wind doesn't always blow. If the wind is blowing, you can say it's powered by wind power, then the wind stops or the wind gets weaker. Something has to fill that gap in always be there. So when you add wind and solar onto a grid, you don't remove the need for coal plants, for nuclear plants, for natural gas plants, that work all the time. So to maintain two grids instead of one grid is always more expensive." Source: Fox News

Wind turbines are getting bigger, more efficient, and are delivering higher output. That sounds impressive, but it isn't compared to other sources. A single nuclear plant, for example, produces around 1,750 megawatts. To match that, you need roughly 150 large turbines. Wind uses over 100X more land than nuclear for the same output. And turbines, of course, only produce power when the wind is blowing. Nuclear is constant. Then there's the storage requirements. To make wind reliable, you need batteries. At grid scale, that becomes impossible with current technologies. Wind power remains an expensive pipe dream, lining the pockets of a few at the expense of the many.

CNN: He claimed that China builds a lot of wind turbines and manufactures them for others, but refuses to use it itself, barely uses wind power. In fact, China is the world leader in the use of wind power. It is building additional wind power in China far faster than the pace at which the U.S. Is building in the United States itself. So the idea that China is just, you know, foisting this terrible source of energy on other countries while refusing to use it is a reversal of reality.

Solar and wind are sold as cheaper than coal, gas or nuclear using a number called LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy). But LCOE is a junk metric. It pretends that one-megawatt-hour of intermittent power is the same as one-megawatt-hour of reliable power. It isn't. When the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow, you still need electricity. So backup plants (coal, gas or nuclear) must run in the background, ready to fire instantly. LCOE fails to count that cost. It also ignores the miles of transmission lines for remote wind farms, the giant storage systems to cover lulls, the stabilizers to keep frequency steady, and the massive overbuild needed just to survive bad weather weeks.These hidden costs explode as wind and solar take over more of the grid. On paper, LCOE makes these renewables look cheap. In reality, they drive up costs system-wide. That's why nations with the most wind and solar have the highest electricity prices. LCOE isn't just misleading, it's a lie.

"Almost all wind turbines are produced in China. We need to ask China, how many wind power stations do they have? So far, not a single one has been found. They use coal and oil, gas, and a bit of nuclear energy, but they don't have wind turbines. They produce and sell them to suckers like Europe and what the United States used to be," Trump's statement about wind energy at a meeting with oil industry leaders became the most notable, together with statements about Greenland, in the European segment of social networks.

Very good from Ed Miliband on wind energy, "The cost of building new generation gas would be higher than off shore wind" "Off shore wind prevents the need for expensive gas plants to run" "Off shore wind farms will provide enough power to supply 12 million homes" "Also on energy security and sovereignty" "When Russia invaded Ukraine and prices went through the roof and we were subject to the markets controlled by petro states and dictators" "This is home grown clean power that we control"

Nova Scotia is adding about 1000 MW of onshore wind power to the grid to help get off coal and reach 80% clean electricity by 2030––and bring jobs and investments into our communities. Most of this clean energy is coming online this year. Take a look at a wind farm being built.

Denmark built its electricity system around the weather. Now it is discovering that the weather is unreliable. Politiken admits the country is "deeply dependent" on neighboring states when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow. Over recent years, Denmark has closed dependable generating capacity, expanded wind and solar, and assumed Norway and Sweden would always supply the shortfall. But now the safety net is weakening. Norway's ruling Labour Party has rejected renewing one of the oldest Danish links. Sweden has paused replacement of the Konti-Skan cable amid a dispute with Brussels. Suddenly Denmark's experts are warning about "Dunkelflaute"--dark windless periods when renewable output collapses. The Danish Energy Agency now conceives that a grid dominated by wind and solar still needs controllable domestic generation. Even the establishment is now staggeringly close to understanding that closing dependable power plants and outsourcing reliability to foreign countries was a disastrous idea.

Britain has paid billions in subsidies to build thousands of turbines across its countryside. But when high pressure systems move in, wind collapses. During these calm spells, wind generation can fall to almost nothing, as low as 0.2% of the grid. When that happens, the grid scrambles. Coal is restarted, gas plants carry the bulk of the load and supply warnings are issued. This is the reality few in elected office seem to grasp. When the weather calms, which it regularly does, wind power disappears from the grid. Britain only stays online thanks to dispatchable energy systems picking up the slack. The country would be better off, both financially and in terms of energy security, if it simply ran off dispatchable power in the first place.

Net Zero is not an engineering policy. It is an ideology pretending to be one. Wind power is not clean, cheap or reliable. It is material-heavy, land-hungry and wildly inefficient compared with gas. Britain is dismantling reliable energy to worship at the altar of green delusion.

China has one of the largest and most integrated electricity systems. The ARISE NEWS team traveled by Train from Dalian to Shenyang (final destination, Beijing) and I saw massive Wind Turbines. China is the world’s top producer of Wind turbines. Official figures put installed capacity at 640 Gigawatts in 2025 But that’s capacity. Wind doesn’t blow all year. What did the Wind Turbines actually generate? About 1,000 Terrawatt-Hours (TWh). That’s 1 Trillion Kilowatt-Hours (kWh) That’s about 22 times Nigeria’s entire output. Average 5,000MW over a year x 8,760 hours is 43.8 TWh What about the cost of building an onshore wind Turbine? A 5 Megawatt Wind Turbine costs about $4m - $5m according to IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) The Turbine alone isn’t enough. There’s still Transmission, Substations, Batteries, metering and more. Electricity costs money. #China #Wind #Renewables #WindEnergy

📷 The dirty little secret Maine’s Democrat politicians won’t tell you: Offshore wind was supposed to be the cornerstone of “Maine Won’t Wait” and the entire New England clean-energy fantasy. Then reality hit. • ISO-New England crunched the numbers: to deliver all the promised offshore wind power, you’d have to cover an area of ocean the size of Connecticut… with nothing but wind turbines. • A month later, Scandinavian researchers said “actually make it two Connecticuts” because wake turbulence kills the output of downwind turbines • Result? The wholesale industrialization of our fisheries and coastline for power that costs 3–5× what we pay today • Every major offshore wind developer on the world has bailed, projects are being canceled left and right, and even with massive subsidies the math still doesn’t work Yet Augusta keeps pretending the plan is fine without its #1 power source. If offshore wind is dead (and it is), the entire “net-zero by 2050” house of cards collapses.

Texas built the largest wind fleet in America, more than 30,000 turbines, costing billions in subsidies, sold as clean, limitless energy. But in February 2021, reality hit. A historic cold outbreak froze the turbines. Power output across the state collapsed within hours. The grid buckled. Millions lost electricity. Almost 1,000 people died. And while politicians blamed gas lines and unexpected weather, the data pointed to a grid that had grown dangerously dependent on wind. The promise was clean energy. The reality was blackouts, Texans freezing to death, and a grid one cold snap away from collapse.

Onshore wind is sold as 25-year infrastructure, but a UK and Denmark study found that after just 10 years. The average UK wind farm loses roughly one-third of its output. Then by 12 to 15 years, many become completely uneconomic to run. Less power, more wear, higher maintenance. So the farms need "repowering," they call it. That means ripping out old machines and replacing them early. So more steel, more blades shipped in from China, more waste and more subsidies. The 25-year lifespan claim was short enough, but in reality, turbines are barely lasting a decade.

If emissions reduction were the real goal, nuclear would already dominate. First off, it is the safest energy source per unit of power produced. Secondly, it has the lowest life cycle CO2 emissions, lower than coal, gas and even wind and solar. Thirdly, nuclear runs 93% of the time. Wind and solar don't come anywhere near that, just 33% and 23% respectively. And on top of all that, a one gigawatt nuclear plant fits on about one square mile and powers 750,000 homes. Wind and solar require vastly more land, materials and backup batteries for the same power. If climate alarmism were serious, the answer would be nuclear.

‼️🇨🇳China has tested a megawatt scale airborne wind power system, marking a major step in high altitude renewable energy. Developed in Changsha, the helium supported platform flies thousands of meters above ground where winds are stronger and more consistent, delivering higher output with far less land, steel, and concrete. Its biggest advantage is mobility. The system can be quickly deployed to remote or disaster hit areas for emergency power. Airborne wind is no longer just a concept. China is making it real.
