Well this sounds familiar: In Scotland, they are hooking up their windmills to diesel generators.
“During December 60 turbines at Arecleoch and 11 at Glenn App were de-energised due to a cabling fault… In order to get these turbines re-energised diesel generators were running for upwards of six hours a day,” they revealed.
“Turbines are regularly offline due to faults where they are taking energy from the grid rather than producing it, and also left operating on half power for long periods due to parts which haven’t been replaced,” they continued.
“Dirty hydraulic oil is also regularly being sprayed out across the Scottish countryside due to cracks in mechanisms. Safety standards have not improved since a worker was killed in 2017 at Kilgallioch wind farm.”
You may not have heard, but there is some thought that the dead humpback whales washing up in New Jersey are the victims of offshore windmill farms.
We already know on land that windmills are killing hundreds of thousands of flying wildlife–eagles, bats, butterflies, birds.
And of course there is the production and ‘retirement’ of these monstrosities. Rare earth magnets coming from Chinese mines and blades piling up in landfills.
How much does it take for them to call it quits? This increasing expensive ‘renewable’ energy pushes are destroying much more than they are saving or helping.
