Driving west last week on Interstate 40 near Amarillo, Texas I passed a large wind farm that literally stretched for miles, and most if not all of the windmills were turning. Returning east three days later only one or two of the units was working, demonstrating the utter unreliability of this method of power generation. It quite clear that conventional fossil power stations would have to kept going on a stand-by basis to maintain some semblance of reliability, again increasing cost. The so called clean coal system is almost as bad, although it will give a dependable power supply albeit at the inflated cost that comes from having to build and operate an oxygen plant next door to the power station, burn the coal in oxygen instead of air and then capture the carbon dioxide,and compress it in the new compressor equipment next door to the oxygen plant and pipe the compressed gas away to some distant location for underground disposal. The pipe line for this is also new of course. Look for electricity rates to double or even triple. It would make more sense to examine the greenhouse gas myths in a more scientific manner than has been done so far. The current reports that are the basis for the cap and trade proposals were written by believers who had prepared their conclusions before starting any of the research.
