“The Wind Always Blows” – Except When It Sucks

Just another one of those days the other day when there was zero wind….

All those billions and billions in hardware sitting there and wind producing a measly 1.58 gigawatts! Of course, the state needed 60 gigawatts to power itself that day…

Which means wind was contributing a massive 2.6% of our power needs…

Texas needs to build 8 to 10 nuclear power plans YESTERDAY. Tell the NRC to fuck off and start building. We don’t need permission from the Feds.

All those million-dollar machines and software must be reading wrong, because there is a socialist genius in town who assures us that “the wind always blows”, therefore we just need to build a couple of million pinwheels and we’ll have “free” electricity forever. Or something.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you have ten billion pinwheels – if the wind isn’t blowing, you STILL get zero power generation. So I guess you just call all the hospitals, factories, airports, etc and tell them to shut down for a day or two maybe…and hope the breeze picks up.

Sounds like a great way to run a modern economy. Only someone dumb enough to believe in socialism can believe this wind bullshit will work.
