Swedish Wind Farm industry on verge of bankruptcy, experts warn

[Slavister]

Yet the global wind capacity factor remains below 50%, in spite of all the added Wind capacity in the last decade.

Does not matter as already explained. You don't have wind here but have is 300 miles away in any direction or some slower wind in more than one direction? If you have strategically placed wind farms you can be covered.

Last decade? That's nothing! We are just getting started.

Do you really think the wind always blows withing 300 miles of someplace? Plus, you get excessive loss at 300 miles, making the cost per unit even more money.

You are avoiding the point, you cannot get to 100% coverage with an average capacity factor of ~42% without energy storage.
Also the storage to make up the difference will need to be massive.

Wind generated power is as corrupt and and ANTI-green as the EV car industry.

The amount of fossil fuel resources needed to mine for the materials alone far exceeds the realized benefits. Add in all the production and shipping costs, inefficient gains, and a significantly lower than projected operation timeframe and you are left with a bunch of hulking scraps of composite metal that then have to have giant holes dug for them by fossil fuel burning vehicles and have the abandoned blades and towers stuffed into the ground.

CO2 emissions is extremely low for wind power compared to fossil fuels.

Comparing CO2 emissions from different energy sources

When you produce electricity, you generate greenhouse gas emissions – and this is true for fossil-free energy sources as well. Even if the actual production of electricity does not generate emissions, there is a life-cycle perspective to consider.

Yes and wind power can be combined with other forms of renewable energy and different types of energy storage.

Top five energy storage projects in Australia

Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 27,391,265.1KW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,879,813.4KW by 2030.

We’re going to need a lot more grid storage. New iron batteries could help.

Flow batteries made from iron, salt, and water promise a nontoxic way to store enough clean energy to use when the sun isn’t shining.

Swiss 'water battery' boosts Europe's energy storage plans – DW – 11/30/2022

A Swiss company has built what is being called a giant water battery deep under the Alps that provides an energy storage capacity equivalent to 400,000 electric car batteries. It could be a game changer.

Even if it were wonderfully green...and its not...what percentage of power is wind actually providing?

Some of these numbers they give are daily or weekly best numbers. That is likely an average number. They are also in a region of the globe where that is more likely that most other places as their natural wind is greater than most other places. To move beyond what they are doing, they need to incorporate costly storage. They currently sell much of their excess to have a large minimum. Once the places they sell it to don't need it, their average prices will rise. When they start building storage, their prices will rise.

You guys don't seem to understand the future damage all this push for the agenda will do.

Nice picture of the ecological impact the required power uses. That land is better used for something else like food production or livestock.

Remember when the 'environmentalists' would shit kittens over land use of ANY kind?

Wind soars to 18%..........

Im not anti green...Im just pro common sense. You cant make green energy without fossil fuel. Thats just a reality.
