Onshore Wind and Solar Power Generate Miniscule Amounts Of Power In England

By Paul Homewood

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden wi-ind mills 

Whenever anybody complains about the English countryside being littered with wind farms and solar panels, the renewable lobby usually come back with the claim that renewable energy is supplying a quarter of our electricity.

Technically this is true, but it does not tell the whole story.

In fact, hydro and biomass account for 11%, nearly as much as wind and solar combined.

However, if we look at the specifics of onshore wind and solar power, the things that really impact the countryside, the situation in England is drastically different.

Last year, onshore wind and solar generated 5.9 and 9.2 TWh respectively, out of a total generation of 254.7 TWh. In other words, only 5.9%.

Regardless of the cost in subsidies, which are huge, can anybody honestly say that such a tiny amount of energy is worth the environmental destruction?

Why do CO2 lag behind temperature?

71% of the earth is covered by ocean, water is a 1000 times denser than air and the mass of the oceans are 360 times that of the atmosphere, small temperature changes in the oceans doesn’t only modulate air temperature, but it also affect the CO2 level according to Henry’s Law.

The reason it is called “Law” is because it has been “proven”!

“.. scientific laws describe phenomena that the scientific community has found to be provably true ..”

That means, the graph proves CO2 do not control temperature, that again proves (Man Made) Global Warming, now called “Climate Change” due to lack of … Warming is – again – debunked!
