  • Wind's Our Future, but Natural Gas Is Now [View article]
    @Nobjectivity

    Thanks for admitting I was right. I'm sorry that somebody else had to rain on your parade and inform you in front of God an everybody that half of what you say is made up is nonsensical. And how do we know this? Because you backstop your position with the age old "statistics".

    Maybe you can explain why quant funds that a one chance in 5,000 year Black Swan event suddenly had three in one week. Oops. And then after that, perhaps you will lay out your position on how your windmills all over the place will spin in aggregate, individually, continually, sporadically, intermittently and then average to whatever the outcome you want it to be -- will be. Please think about that.

    Statistics. Good stuff for marching "scientists" and their lemmings right off a cliff...

    @ Objectivity

    "'Intermittent' Wind is really only a local or temporary phenomenon, not so much a national or annual one, especially in a country as large as the USA. For those who don't understand, think of it like this, ONE wind turbine might be idle on any ONE day... but 1000, spread over thousands of square miles, from year to year, will produce roughly the same power annually over time."

    Umm says who? What you seem to be saying is that if you have thousands of windmills spread all over the place, somehow you can magically guarantee that they will all spin sooner or later or independently or whatever. So you are saying that somehow you can control the weather so that you can GUARANTEE that somewhere the turbines will always be spinning. Right. Good one... What is a 100% fact is that if you put 1,000 wind turbines "all over the place" that on any given day they may all spin -- OR -- they may be all idol simultaneously. You, or as far as I know, not anyone can control the weather, so why do you make binary comments as if you do?

    You can't guarantee anything and therefore you can't actually "do the math" to what your energy output and economic returns will be. You can give an educated guess but nothing more than that as you seem to allude with your "air-tight" math regarding output. Perhaps you've heard the term "projection"?

    Complete nonsense...
