At left we have something that illustrates why small wind is a concept in renewable energy that was abandoned about 15 years ago.
Germans are respected around the world for the quality of their engineering. That’s good if you’re buying a Porsche, BWM, or Mercedes for $200K, but it’s terrible if you need something that’s really inexpensive.
And small wind needs to be dirt cheap, because your cost per KWh of electricity can’t be 50 times more than what you would pay to the local power utility.
If you want it cheap, it’s going to fall apart, and that’s particularly true if you’re talking about something that’s installed outdoors and spins every second of every day for decades.
As we’re learning, declining educational standards leads to ignorance, ignorance leads to Trumpism, and Trumpism leads to us to the brink of authoritrianismthe end of democracy.
The Republicans are betting the ranch that American voters can be convinced that the Democrats want government ownership of the means of production.
Granted, we live among a significant number of morons, but this sounds like a big ask.
