The Great California Scam! Wind Turbines Prove to be a Huge Flop!

Here comes the garbage wave... Wind-turbines crashing and burning, companies going bankrupt and guess who is holding the bag to clean up the failure?

The tax payer.. As if all the massive subsidies were not punishment enough..

California had the “big three” of wind farm locations — Altamont Pass, Tehachapi, and San Gorgonio, considered the world’s best wind sites. California’s wind farms, almost 80% of the world’s wind generation capacity ceased to generate even more quickly than Kamaoa Wind Farm in Hawaii. There are five other abandoned wind farms in Hawaii. When they are abandoned, getting the turbines removed is a major problem. They are highly unsightly, and they are huge, and that’s a lot of material to get rid of.

Unfortunately the same areas that are good for siting wind farms are a natural pass for migrating birds. Altamont’s turbines have been shut down four months out of every year for migrating birds after environmentalists filed suit.

It’s a flop folks. It’s been a flop and California taxpayers have been paying for it. Worse, federal dollars have subsidized so YOU are paying for it. YOU will continue to pay for up keep, replacement, and cleanup.

The people of California..........they have a monopoly on dumb. They are paying for electricity they don't even need!:2up:
 
So.....ever wonder why the religion switched from "global warming" to "climate change"???

here ya go..........

Scientists knew in 2005 that there would be a shift in the poles that would be occurring.....happens all the time since the beginning of time. They knew what would become known as the "WOBBLE EFFECT" would be moving very cold temperatures south of the poles.....so they had to compensate by changing the name to dupe the public experiencing markedly colder temperatures ( ie Canada......Greenland.....Northeast US ).

More AGW k00k losing........who said as recently as a year ago that coal was dead and we'd never see a coal plant open in the US again.............

First New Coal Mine of Trump Era Opens in Pennsylvania



:oops-28::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Atmospheric cooling is massive and will soon impact the surface (probably later this year as the ENSO is now again going cold). I have a feeling that when global surface temps drop by -1-2 deg C over the next few years coal is going to make a huge comeback...
 
Was reading a paper today as I was preparing a piece of work. This is what I found.

The facts shown are stunning about today's temperatures and how they fall in line with the recent past. Its always nice to get confirmation of natural variation as I look into other scientists works. The temp rise is not unusual or out of the norm...
 
On the Validity of NOAA, NASA and Hadley CRU Global Average Surface Temperature Data
&
The Validity of EPA’s CO2 Endangerment Finding
Abridged Research Report

Dr. Craig D. Idso
June 2017

ABSTRACT:
The objective of this research was to test the hypothesis that Global Average Surface Temperature (GAST) data, produced by NOAA, NASA, and HADLEY, are sufficiently credible estimates of global average temperatures such that they can be relied upon for climate modeling and policy analysis purposes. The relevance of this research is that the validity of all three of the so- called Lines of Evidence in EPA’s GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding require GAST data to be a valid representation of reality.
In this research report, the most important surface data adjustment issues are identified and past changes in the previously reported historical data are quantified. It was found that each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history. And, it was nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern. This was true for all three entities providing GAST data measurement, NOAA, NASA and Hadley CRU.
As a result, this research sought to validate the current estimates of GAST using the best available relevant data. This included the best documented and understood data sets from the U.S. and elsewhere as well as global data from satellites that provide far more extensive global coverage and are not contaminated by bad siting and urbanization impacts. Satellite data integrity also benefits from having cross checks with Balloon data.
The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data. Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever –despite current claims of record setting warming.
Finally, since GAST data set validity is a necessary condition for EPA’s GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding, it too is invalidated by these research findings."

The AGW charade is falling apart.. The conclusions reads:

"The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality.

The other shoe has dropped and its a hammer..

On Sunday, Goulburn got colder than the BOM thought was possible (and a raw data record was “adjusted”). « JoNova

"On Sunday, Goulburn got colder than the BOM thought was possible (and a raw data record was “adjusted”).
The BOM got caught this week auto-adjusting cold extremes to be less cold. Lance Pidgeon of the unofficial BOM audit team noticed that the thermometer at Goulburn airport recorded – 10.4°C at 6.17am on Sunday morning, but the official BOM climate records said it was -10.0°C. (What’s the point of that decimal place?) Either way this was a new record for Goulburn in July. (The previous coldest ever July morning was -9.1°C. The oldest day in Goulburn was in August 1994 when it reached -10.9°C).

Apparently this was an automated event where the thermometer recorded something beyond a set limit, and the value put into the official database was the artificial limit. Since colder temperatures have already been recorded in Goulburn, who thought it was a good idea to trim all future minus-ten-point-somethings as if they were automatically “spurious”?

Yesterday, the BOM have acknowledged the error and at first deleted the -10.0 figure, replacing it with a blank space. Then today, after Jennifer Marohasy’s post, they’ve corrected it.

You might think a half degree between friends is not that significant, but this opens a whole can of worms in so many ways — what are these “limits”, do they apply equally to the high side records, who set them, how long has this being going on, and where are they published? Are the limits on the high temperatures set this close to previously recorded temperatures? How many times have raw records been automatically truncated?"

Too funny!

Wind disappears in South Australia, costing wind-industry millions, BOM blames climate change even though models predicted faster winds « JoNova

"Wind disappears in South Australia, costing wind-industry millions, BOM blames climate change even though models predicted faster winds
The wind fizzled out over the South East slab of Australia during June. Predictably, that meant the wind industry lost millions, and wholesale electricity prices went up. When the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) was asked where the wind had gone, Darren Ray, expert climatologist, said it was due to a high pressure system over the bight, which, he explained, was linked to “climate change”. Thus, as the world warms, wind farms will be progressively more useless in South Australia. Perhaps the BOM should have mentioned that before SA became dependent on wind farms? I don’t think he had thought this one through.

Perhaps the BOM is hoping that the masochistic sacrifice of South Australia will stop global warming before global warming stops the wind farms?

You might think that if the global climate models could see this coming they would have suggested that wind farms weren’t a good idea. Or maybe, since climate models predict every equal and opposite outcome in unison, the models are always right post hoc, but not so useful in projections?"
