The Real Reason America Has Turned Its Back On Wind Power Energy

Energy mega projects like offshore wind power fields have been booming lately but for some reason America has stopped building them.

Is offshore wind power really the future and what is the real reason America has stopped build these wind farms?

Today we explore the insane engineering and problems behind offshore wind power.

    Let me see if I understand this. We have “invested” hundreds of billions of dollars into building solar and wind farms around the country to generate electricity but failed to recognize up front that substantial changes to the power distribution system would also be required in order to make the electricity generated usable by anyone. That about right? Has anyone asked the Government the question: Who was in charge of spending all this money to build all this generation capacity and why didn’t someone in that vast bureaucracy somewhere think to begin building a distribution system to coincide with the new generation capacity? I realize this sounds simplistic but that’s because it appears to me to be a fairly simple conclusion to reach. But I recognize my very limited experience in such things.

    The primary reason sane people in states and nations are questioning windmills (both offshore and on land), is because they do not deliver what was promised.
    At Block Island, Rhode Island, USA, is installed five windmills of 6 Mega-Watt/Hour output, theoretically yielding 30 Mw/h of electricity.
    Then, reality struck.
    The Windmills, on a monthly average only produce 10 Mw/h of electricity.

    The people who sold them the windmills indicated 30 Mega-Watt output at ‘Rated Speed’.
    None of the politicians, nor environmentalists read the fine print.
    ‘Rated Speed’ = wind speed at, or greater than, 25 Miles per Hour.
    Sanity check: How many days each year does the wind blow 25 MPH? Perhaps, 5-10?

    Everyone should look up the definition of the word ‘Grift”.
