“I worked in the power industry for 28 years and before that worked in the chemical industry. I am well qualified to comment on the vagaries of wind turbines.

Simplistically they are total failures of the most expensive kind.

Consider these points:
Do you understand the wind power cube law? For example if a turbine was running at rated generation and the wind speed decayed to half....the turbines output reduces to one eighth!

At best the wind is only able to power the turbines fully for about 15 days in every hundred! The remaining 85 days often result in abysmal generation.

Do you want to use electricity to suit you and life's scheduled events or are you willing to wait for limited power on unpredictable days.....of course not. You want to watch TV, have a shower, see in the dark, have your town lit up at night, in fact live the life of a modern person. Even your gas central heating must have power for the circulation pump!

So ask yourself, how do you manage when the wind doesn't blow.....you rely on fossil fuelled and fission fuelled power generators that have established availability and reliability, not relying on the vagaries of the fickle wind! For every watt of wind power there must be an installed watt of conventional power. A conventional power station cannot start up and shut down to match wind variations. It takes many hours to start up even a gas turbine powered generator due to thermal fatigue cycle problems. The only way wind power can be backed up is to have "spinning reserve" fossil fuelled generators able to cycle up and down as the wind varies. So as you can see wind turbines cause unwanted fossil fuelled stations to emit pollution even when the wind turbines are operational. Wind turbines equal pollution and massive cost burdens to the UK.

Not one single privately funded wind turbine would be built because they are so inefficient and intermittent. Intermittancy is just not desirable in an electrical generator supplying public demand. All current wind farms are using stealth subsidies (ROCs), in the order of billions of pounds via taxes and elevated electrical tariffs.

Since the beginning of 2009 how many days has the wind been productive? The answer would make you wince when you researched the astronomical cost of building and subsidising these fraudulent white elephants.

Don't take my word for it, just google a few things:

Danish wind power, wind turbine failures etc. Denmark is absurd in that they have the worlds biggest wind generation system (that the UK is emulating) and yet they are building more fossil fuelled power stations as backup, so producing more pollution than before wind power. They have one of the most expensive electricity costs in Europe.

Use google, do your research and agree that wind power is causing massive cost escalation and pollution to our energy profile.”
