Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

Why would anyone think alcohol has a downside? I come in a much higher place in running races with a few drinks. Chocolate and vodka in the bumbag, infinite stamina.

It's a religion. There is no reasoning with them.

A wind turbine has a really tall post in the middle, could a weight or fluid not be pumped up there?

Do you read the tripe you write?

The only person here with a low IQ is the one who thinks "The greenies are either in the pockets of Big Energy - gas/ oil".

It is safe to say TNP is "in the pockets of Big Energy - gas/ oil" but doesn't realise that or more likely, simply in denial.

We need bigger wires between countries, it's always windy somewhere.

Is that to avoid a followthrough?

Everything's marketing spin. Those 250W solar panels on your roof, unless you live in California, it's 90W midday clear blue sky on midsummer's day. Any other time you're lucky to get 20W.

Alledgedly it's f****ng expensive, but heavily subsidised, just like wind.

Bunker C didn't flow at room temp.

Actually Kiev (however you want to spell it) was originally the capital of Russia (at least of the Russian people); then it moved to Moscow, St Petersburg and back to Moscow. The Ukrainians recognise this, and some want to rename the Russians "Muscovites".

Where I worked back in the 70s we used it for the steam boiler. Monday morning the boiler was started on #2 oil and then a steam probe heated the #6 to about 200 degree so it would flow.

The oil was delivered in insulated tankers and if not unloaded within time it would gel and have to be heated.

The benefit to #6 was the price.

Keiven Rus were not Russians in the modern sense of the word by any stretch of the imagination. They included the Norse, Finns and other central Europeans as well as parts of the modern western Russia.

When the Muscovites later invaded the region now known as Ukraine, they called it little russia.

Show us the math.

Seems improbable to me.

That's virtually guaranteed with 'green' energy none of which is radical or new, all of which has been tried at least on paper and none of which has been found to be viable. Its all kept alive my massive subsidies from politicians in receipt of fat green envelopes When I went to S Africa, I was amazed at the level of corruption. It was out in the open.

When I came back to Europe, I realises it was every bit as corrupt, but was carefully hidden.

The US is actually pretty good as regards outright corruption.

In San Francisco, there was some bribery going on in the building inspection/permits department, and people went to prison. Contractors tell me that they have never bribed anyone.

Major East coast city. Been some years but my mother was the one that got the permits and inspections done. Never bribed anyone as the work done was top notch. But there was always an envelope that the inspector took with him.
