Over at the Vermont Tiger there’s a bit of discussion ongoing about wind turbines, measurements and such with the usual words tossed around without meaning. Perhaps this posting will knot some knickers, one can only hope.
One individual, self titled “The Gooch” who has a more than passing grasp of he terminology; he used the slip stick properly, not to tease the hoyden in the next row. He might be one of those scoundrels, a closet engineer.
None of what passes for information in the Free Press ever discusses power-line and substation locations or power line loss (transmission distance). Nor do they talk about what those ridge lines are going to look like with the gashes cut into them for maintenance roads and the power lines themselves.Tracked vehicles are going to rip up the soil during all seasons; service cares not about mud nor Thumper’s love life.
The photo below is to give an idea of the size of these turbines.
Hard to hide or disguise these as maple trees.
If the sustainable crowd want to use some of the wind energy to pump water up hill for later release through turbines fine, please select the energy set aside for that purpose.
I get the eerie sensation of the search for the Holy Grail of Perpetual Motion.
Any other person experience that same intuition
