"Wind is now one of the world’s biggest electricity sources. So why are we switching turbines off?"
#WindTurbines #Energy #Renewables

Switching off wind turbines cost Britain €1.6bn this year. Here’s why
Wind power has surged across Europe, sparking concern that billions are being wasted due to "insufficient" grid investment.

Offshore wind is about to get a major upgrade. Siemens Gamesa is developing a 21.5MW prototype turbine—a massive leap in capacity that could dramatically boost energy production at wind farms.
This isn't just about bigger turbines. It's about meeting renewable energy targets faster and cutting carbon emissions at scale.

Siemens Gamesa executive reveals plan for 21MW turbine
Siemens Gamesa executive says that long term aim is to commercialise its 21.5MW prototype turbine, once it is confirmed to be as reliable as existing models

Wind farm curtailment: theferret.scot/why-are-scottis

Why are Scottish wind farms paid billions to switch off?
Despite Scotland’s booming wind sector, turbines are still routinely paid not to spin. The Ferret unpacks why this happens, what makes it so costly, and what it means for your bills.

As Jan Vos of Dutch wind energy association NedZero noted, Trump had mentioned wind turbines 16 times before even getting around to Greenland (which he also called Iceland). As usual, most statements …

I'm kind of okay with the ending.

Screenshot End Stage Capitalism The year is 3129. Humanity is extinct. The last LG SmartFridge is desperately emailing its last owner that they are low on orange juice. The satellites still left, their orbits decaying, dutifully relay the message. The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that its owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days. A pack of roombas, the local wind turbines giving out, search for the next func…

From David Suzuki
Unstoppable renewable energy revolution powers on
There’s good news and bad news on the climate front. Unfortunately, the bad news is horrific, as accelerating extreme weather-related events and other unfolding climate catastrophes show. But there are signs of hope. We just have to stop dragging our feet.

From Bill McKibben
The tsunami of tech spilling from China’s factories has changed the country’s energy landscape—and its physical one, too. For decades China’s development was synonymous with coal, which produced choking air pollution and massive carbon emissions, still greater than those of all other developed nations combined. Now, solar panels carpet deserts and the high, sunstruck plateau of Tibet, and wind turbines up to 300m tall guard coastlines and hilltops
