Watch the look on Ursula’s face as President Trump sets out the facts on wind power
"It’s the expensive form of energy, the whole thing is a complete conjob"
Yet, in Australia we’ve been deluded like a quasi-religious cult into thinking we can run our entire grid based on wind and solar. No wonder Australia is going backwards.
And it’s pleasing to hear President Trump saying almost exactly what I said over a decade ago.
From the Hansard 18th June, 2012 …..
"Wind turbines are ludicrously inefficient. Let us not lie about the costs. The electricity they produce is XXX per cent more expensive than electricity produced by coal-fired plants (when you factor in all the costs)
"Simply because of their inefficiency, no one would invest in wind turbines unless they were guaranteed some type of government handout or special government privilege.
"But these government handouts have to be paid by someone. That is something the Labor party does not understand. They are paid by families through higher electricity prices. They are paid by families, by factories, by hospitals, by schools, by offices, by churches and by retail shops. They are the people that pay the price of these policies.
"We have beautiful country landscapes around our nation, from Beaudesert to Boorowa, magnificent horse-riding trails and picturesque vistas. We can desecrate these landscapes by covering them with giant steel industrial wind turbines for as far as the eye can see, but it is not going to do anything to change the temperature of the globe and it not going to have any measurable effect on levels of carbon dioxide. To do so would be a recipe for retarding economic growth, increasing poverty and harming human health."
