This person explains everything that matters about wind power very concisely, with some debunking too: https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=23875107&cid=65875831

The best part is the last line though:

Wind isn’t perfect. Nothing is. But the idea that spinning steel poles producing power for decades are some kind of scam only works if you ignore math, markets, and the fact that they keep getting built because they make money. Physics doesn’t care about vibes.

Anthony Edwards (Newsroom Meteorologist at the San Francisco Chronicle): "Ocean Prediction Center forecasts a 985 mb low tracking into Southern Oregon early Christmas Eve. That would bring significant wind to Northern California. High wind watch in effect across the Bay Area for gusts up to 60 mph.|

In case anyone still bothers counting the times #Trump has ignored court rulings, the #judiciary & flat out breaks the #law, here’s another to add to the list —

On Dec 8th, a federal judge threw out the Trump EO blocking #WindEnergy projects, yet today, Dec 22nd, the Trump admin said it is pausing leases for 5 large-scale offshore #wind projects under construction in the East Coast due to unspecified [aka bullshit] “national security” risks identified by the Pentagon.

“The prime duty of the United States government is to protect the American people,”Interior Secy #DougBurgum [who has vested interests in carbon capture & storage & enhanced #oil recovery tech] said. “Today’s action addresses emerging national security risks, including the rapid evolution of the relevant adversary technologies, & the vulnerabilities created by large-scale offshore #wind projects with proximity near our east coast population centers.”

The pause is effective immediately & will give the #Interior Dept, which oversees offshore #wind, time to work with the #Defense Dept & other agencies to assess the possible ways to mitigate any security risks posed by the projects [come up with some bullshit excuses], the admin said.
