My daughter tried snowboardng when she was 14 or 15.  First time down, hit a mogul which flipped her forward.  She landed with both hands in front splintering a radius.  She hasn't been down a slope since.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving to SoDak yesterday, there are tons of new wind energy towers. Probably thousands of them. Why are energy rates increasing and not decreasing?

Have a wonderful day word!

Wind has one of the lowest ROI's for all energy production. The more mills that are constructed the higher the average cost to produce a volt.

[mspart]

From what I have read, the rating of a windmill is about 3 times what you actually get.  So you need 3 wind mills to do the job of what one is rated to do.  Just right there that is an inefficiency in the system.   One other that is often overlooked is that the wind comes and goes.  Sometimes it is there, sometimes not.  Wind is not a reliable source of energy.   The reliable sources (coal, gas, diesel, hydro, nuclear) then have to be variable to make up for them, which is not what they are designed to do.  Again, an inefficiency.  All this inefficiency drives up cost too word

The cost of power in Germany is 30.43 cents per kilowatt hour.
The average price in the US is 10.58 cents.per kilowatt hour, 5.5% from renewable sources.

Robins !

A flock of about 15 robins passed through yesterday on their way north.  Great sign for spring to pop early.  Usually they don't arrive until around the 15th of March.

Electricity costs in France are 18 euro.  Where do they get their energy?  Nuclear.  It is a more stable  and cost efficient way to do it. 

Here is a Ted Talk on this:

MIchael Shellenberger is a long time environmental and renewable energy guy.  This Ted talk is quite eye opening word
