A Banner Year for [the wind power scam] - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

A record 10,010 megawatts of new wind capacity was installed in the United States last year, accounting for 39 percent of new electrical generation, the American Wind Energy Association said in its annual report.

That raises the nation’s total wind energy capacity to more than 35,000 megawatts, or enough electricity to keep the lights on in 9.7 million homes. “Over the past five years, wind power and other renewable energy technologies, combined with natural gas, have provided over 90 percent of all new generating capacity in the U.S.,” the report’s authors stated.

Wind Power Has Been Oversold

Over the past decade, California’s 1,500 MW of windmills have averaged 25 percent of their ‘nameplate’ capacity. During peak summer demand it was only 9 percent. Germany has found its windmills producing only 6 percent of its installed capacity. (3)

Wind and solar-generated electricity already enjoy subsidies nearly 50 times higher per unit of energy than ordinary coal and 100 times higher than natural gas. (5) The Royal Academy of engineering in the UK in 2004 estimated that the cost of wind power is two-and-a-half times the cost of other forms of electricity. (6) Guess who pays for all the subsidies and inefficiencies? Denmark, touted for its lead in wind turbines, has the highest electric rates of any industrialized nation, an average of about $.38 per kWh compared to $.08 in the US. (7)

Well, I just don’t see how CO2 could lay around being all lazy like until 1991 in most of the countries, then suddenly have an epiphany and start working ‘double time’. Especially when right next door other countries are cooling (but surrounded on all sides by “warming” air masses) and the West Coast gets “Sticked” in the ’70s while the East gets it in the ’90s. ( I hate getting it in the ’90s… )
...
But it is all very easily explained by “instrument and process issues”.

The arrest of an environmental activist who demanded money to withdraw his opposition to real estate projects has lifted the veil on a new type of blackmail, which writer Ivan Brezina maintains pales in comparison with the stock and trade of major public figures in the environmental movement.
