“We’re all working together on this issue,” #RFKJr said during the cabinet meeting, where he expressed concern about wind’s impact on whale & fish populations🤦🏼‍♀️.

#Trump, who fought against a #wind project within view of his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, has long shown contempt for #WindPower, claiming without evidence that the farms cause cancer, & dismissing them as overly expensive eye-sores.

Wind power is already the future, and now its clear that it has contributed to lessening UK energy bills... not only that wind (as part of the renewable energy sector) is generating (pun intended) jobs & underpinning new investment as part of the green transition... now we just need to get vendor fully behind it.

"From 2010 to 2023, wind power delivered a benefit of £147.5 billion — £14.2 billion from lower electricity prices and £133.3 billion from reduced natural gas prices. If we offset the £43.2 billion in wind energy subsidies, UK consumers saved £104.3 billion compared with what their energy bills would have been without investment in wind generation.
UK wind energy production has transformed over the past 15 years. In 2010, more than 75% of electricity was generated from fossil fuels. By 2025, coal has ceased and wind is the largest source of power at 30% – more than natural gas at 26%."

Wild. Colorado is short on transmission lines to get the massive amount of #solar and #windpower generated in the southern part of the state up to the Denver metro area, so… they will soon be running freight trains full of giant batteries up and down the Front Range. These trains used to ship hundreds of tons of coal, but are shipping less now as the coal fired power plants are being decommissioned: too dirty and too expensive. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/suntrain-experimental-train-car-solar-energy-union-pacific-rail-lines-colorado/

We now have a rigging-suspended wind generator on our sailboat.


I released the CAD files for the bracket in https://bergie.iki.fi/blog/rigging-suspended-wind-generator/
