  • Jimbozu, on 10/14/2008, -1/+1So while that is an extremely compelling argument against wind power, they didn't answer a question that I've had for quite some time. What are the consequences of removing vast amounts of power from wind? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wind represents much of the energy transfer across the continents, so if your taking energy out of the wind, doesn't that mean that there is no longer energy (or heat) being moved from one part of a landmass to another?
  • iri1978, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1IMO the question is: are we pushing in the right direction?
    I say YES, the problems that occur from wind generated energy are not easy to overcome, but that shouldn't stop as from trying. It's like arguing that bicycles are not the answer, well if you move close enough they may be, for you!
  • iri1978, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1The author is concerned about Denmark spending all this money, well some say
    "New statistics from Denmark's wind energy industry show that exports from this sector now account for more than half of all Danish energy technology exports. And export revenues are growing apace: in 2006, exports of wind turbines, components and know-how totalled DKK 26.6 bn (USD 5 bn), a 41% rise on the 2005 figure of DKK 18.8 bn (USD 3.5 bn)."
