Energy output dented by wind drought

Washington Times: Wind speeds fell dramatically in 2023, slowing turbines and decreasing renewable energy production across the United States even as billions of dollars were invested in building new wind power plants.

Wind energy proponents say breezes have increased in 2024, but critics warn the 2023 dip demonstrates the risks to the stability of the energy grid when it is even partially reliant on renewable sources tied to the weather.

“The intermittent, weather-dependent nature of wind turbines make them such a bad fit with the grid,” Ken Davis, a corporate executive with over 40 years experience in the electric and gas industry, said. more

  1. Suplemental power at best. Personally I think that research in the field is a good thing, but Lefties want to make it primary power, which it is not now or in the foreseable future. But if yer trying to destroy the nation, that’s what they are pushhing!

  2. So if you have enough turbines catching the energy of the wind, what is the effect/impact downwind? I mean there has to be an impact…not that anyone cares…
