It's stated Iowa gets 42% of it's electricity from wind turbine electricity producing generators high in the sky, but I find this unbelievable.
It's said there is a whopping 5,100 turbines there in the entire state of Iowa. It's mostly flat agricultural lands that have enjoyed lucrative growth of wind turbine plantations.
Palm Springs has about 2,100 turbines in it's big mess of industrial white
colonist turbine blight but those are concentrated in a small area.
Since 2008, Iowa has generated more electricity each year than the state consumed 1
They say Iowa made 42% of it's net electricity from wind. This might be more static than anything.
OMG/WAIT......let's look at this. 42% of it's electricity is from wind. 58% of it's electricity is from other sources such as coal, nuclear, natural gas, solar, bio, hydro.
If there is an OVERSUPPLY on a regular basis where is that OVERSUPPLY coming from, wind turbines?
Keep in mind they are merely stating how much is GENERATED. They stated what their NET GENERATION of power is.
If this 42% number is correct and there is OVERSUPPLY from mostly wind which is highly likely as wind routinely oversupplies the grids, whereas all the other sources are EXTREMELY EFFICIENT as they can be managed to supply exactly what is needed with no waste, then we may have a scenario where in reality wind turbine slave to this form of energy plantations are supplying .0666th of it and much of what is made by wind is DUMPED while your money in your bills is going to the masters of these plantations as they mark the landscapes everywhere with these beasts.
In 2019, wind turbines in Iowa generated more electricity than the state's coal-fired power plants for the first time.
Coal generated 35% of the state's net electricity, down from 59% five years earlier.
During the same period, wind power grew from 29% of the state's net generation to 42% in 2019.
However, five of Iowa's 10 largest power plants by generating capacity are coal-fired, and only one wind farm is in the top 10.42,43
Wait, if wind is supplying so much almost half how can only one wind farm be in the top 10????
That makes no sense if we are to believe the illusion show that keeps featuring wind turbing plantation energy as being so fantastic.
It may be that it's NET GENERATION is not all used power and basically thrown away. It may be that the wind farms are TURNED ON to burn up the energy from other wind farms that are producing too much power and when you drive by them you look up and you and your kids gaze in wonder of them producing "free energy" when in fact they are drawing power from the grid to burn up the EXCESS.
We need to ask what is the NET USAGE of what is generated by wind turbine plantations that enslave us to high power bills.
For example, I can exercize on a treadmill that is hooked up to a power generator and claim that my household is "green" because I am on that thing every day and my NET POWER GENERATION each day is 42% from that treadmill but it's only powering my toaster in the morning as although it produces 42% of my net power generation when my home has a diesel generator outside for reliable energy I only use a tiny part of that in the morning before work, the rest of the day I am consuming almost all of my power from the grid. I only use that treadmill and produce power in the mornings thus all that excess is WASTED POWER generated by this renewable source.
I am making so much energy BUT HOW MUCH OF MY PRODUCED ENERGY CAN BE USED??? Wind turbines in Iowa may be producing so much energy at night but none of it being used and even dumped!
I think this is how we are being misled with these numbers that GIVE US THE ILLUSION THAT WE ARE PRODUCING SO MUCH from wind turbine plantations that enslave us via taxes and electric bills we have to reach into the roof for now. Iowa has the highest rates for business in the country. These illusions are presented in many sources and quoted and used to get us to build even more of these wasteful systems.
These wind spinners are movie sets giving us the illusion of clean green energy but they are better termed as mean energy.
Prove me wrong? Write me at ken@horsepower.net anytime. I will post your letters here for all to see.
OMG there are three categories of EGC
there are so many factors involved in all these calculations how can we
all keep up
i guess we could build 666 billion more computers to handle it all built in
China of course
as America will not allow all that toxic waste from industry to be dumped
because environmentalists
always are looking out for you but then what do they do with all the toxic
chemical waste?
sell us hospital grade disinfectant and get stupid politicians to declare
emergencies that never end of course
making us fumigate every public space for pests that are invisible, probably not
there, cannot be stopped no matter what man does
are CELL/DEBRIS and do no harm to the finest scientists in the world
so they fumigate for these pests they call viruses that they never have proven
to exist
as they isolate you but never isolate the virus and do all this fumigation WHILE
WE ARE IN THESE PLACES
OMG what are is the public now being gassed by ruling oppressive dictatorships?
these fumes burn the lungs and they spray all day long and it is not healthy and
like wind turbine plantations
are a waste of, and also a transfer of, our clean green $ energy
