East coast wind turbine fiasco in the making
Severe impacts to East Coast beaches (in addition to the habitat of whales) are threatened by the wind turbines being put up off the east coast
I asked here: https://www.cfact.org/2024/03/12/where-are-the-true-environmentalists/ where are the true environmentalists with what is going on?
A wind turbine that collapsed closed Nantucket Beaches recently. They are open now, but what makes anyone think the numerous bits and pieces of this are not floating around?
Perhaps washing on shore leading to problems with people not only with swimming but also with even walking on the beach?
There has been no strong storm around. So what caused this?
But now let me ask this question as if this is being ignored. If this happens with nothing going on, what do you think will happen if a storm like 1821 runs through these wind fields?
or 1944 comes back
or Carol 1954
Donna 1960
Belle 1976
Gloria 1985
Bob, the last one in 1991.
In a typical two-faced fashion, the people driving the whole climate disaster scenario are also pushing wind turbines in an area where you are asking for trouble.
This hurricane drought on the NE coast can’t last forever (nothing in 33 years, when it was once every seven years from 1938-1991).
We hear how bad it is. It’s not, but a return to the “normalcy” that was the East Coast hurricane frequency (of course, if that happens, they will blame man-made ‘climate change’) means they have set up a disaster.
Suppose 10-15 percent of the turbines are damaged by a cat 2 going through there. The cleanup of the resort beaches will be in the billions. Given the motives of these people that drive the man-made climate agenda, maybe that is what they want.
They pump everything as a result of man-made ‘climate change’. A recent WSJ article on how the eastern heat is causing billions in uninsured losses fails to mention the counter. When it gets hot, more people go to the beach, and the resorts prosper.
Of course, if wind turbine parts are washing up on shore, who wants to go to the beach?
My point is in every single thing the left does, from climate to what you are seeing now across the board, they set the whole thing up with deception, distortion, and delusion, create the problem, and then blame something they are targeting for it.
This is no difference. And it’s a fiasco in the making.
I guess if one of these washed up in Barack Obama’s place on Martha’s Vineyard, it would get his attention—no paddle-boarding for a while (sarc).

High altitude wind with power kite is still an unexplored energy resource. Italian KiteGen has developped the best project for that propose but mismanagenent has blocked the development.
At high altitude (from 100m up to 1000-2000m) winds are more constant, intense (power is proportional to the cube of the wind speed) , and there is much more area to gather it, so that you do not need accumulation. The other dozen european or american projects have all failing architecture.

We need a relook at the basic design of the current wind turbine technology, which is based on the work by Albert Betz, 1919. His calculations show the maximum power available is 59%. Most actual installations get around 30%.
If we develop the fuselage turbine technology, a much higher level of efficiency is possible. The blades are enclosed, so no impact with avian species. There is no practical limitation on wind speed, and the low noise problem is eliminated. The incoming wind can be conditioned with water to increase wind density, or antifreeze in the colder climates. Further details at http://www.bosmin.com/turbine/bturbine.pdf
