At the heart of the hoax is the claim that wind power reduces carbon dioxide gas emissions. Leaving aside whether there’s any benefit in removing plant food from the atmosphere, reducing CO2 in the power generation sector is the entire premise, indeed the only apparent justification, for the countless $billions in subsidies, the rocketing power prices, increasingly unreliable power supplies, the environmental destruction and community disruption that inevitably follows.
So, IF there is any justification for any of the foregoing it has to reside with actual proof that wind power generation results in a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector, as a whole.
STT has been pointing out from the get-go that there is simply no evidence that wind power is even vaguely capable of reducing carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector.
Back in August 2014, we posted this simple poser: How Much CO2 Gets Emitted to Build a Wind Turbine? A decade on, and the wind industry has not produced a shred of evidence to justify its subsidy-soaked existence.
Indeed, as David Wojick and Paul Driessen outline below, the evidence is all one way.
