A Few Turbines in Upstate NY {The energy example we are going to review here is Industrial Wind Energy.

When I first heard about wind energy, I was a supporter. Quite frankly, I never liked

the looks of turbines, but felt that we would have to live with the unsightliness as atrade-off for the good I initially assumed they were doing. Then I did some research,and Critical Thinking. My conclusion now (as a scientist, economist, and

environmentalist) is that I am strongly opposed to Industrial Wind Energy.}

When it comes to discussing industrial Wind Energy withmost environmentalists, politicians, and the media, this says it all:

Very few really seek knowledge in this world.

On the contrary, they try to justify their entrenched, unscient

opinions, by selectively wringing from the unknown, answers toconsole themselves.

To really ask for the Truth is to open the door to the whirlwind which may annihilate the questioner.

Edison Electric Company - 1882

{Lets go back into history to see how we ended up with the electric grid system we have today... The first practical use of electricity, in the late 1800s, is generally attributed to Thomas Edison(a founder of General Electric). Of course there were actually dozens of other people who contributedto making commercial electricity a reality. And there were a LOT of formidable hurdles to overcome.}


30/182

The Six Principle Requirements for CommercialElectricity Generating Sources are that:

1 - they provide large amounts of electricity; 2 - they provide reliable and predictable electricity; 3 - they provide dispatchable * electricity; 4 - they service one or more grid demand element **;

5 - their facility be compact ***; 6 - they provide economical electricity.

* Dispatchable = can generate higher or lower amounts of power on-demand.

** Grid Demand Elements = Base Load, Load Following, and Peak Load.

*** Compact is the ability to site an electrical facility on a relatively small and well-definedfootprint, preferably near high demand, e.g. cities.


31/182

Its All About Creating Capacity,Particularly Capacity Value

Capacity Value : The ability to rapidly convert a set amount of energy

at specified, convenient times.

[E.g. with a nuclear facility, a grid operator has near 100% confidencethat full power will be available from that facility at times of greatest demand.]

{Note: Capacity VALUE is not the same as Capacity FACTOR.See reference and next page for more explanation.}

Is Being Safe the Wisest Strategy?

Not Necessarily!


39/182


40/182

Concerns About This New Requirement:1 - Having the government step into the utility business and

mandate that utilities change the principles that have beenthe foundation of our electrical grid system since the 1800s.

2 - Transforming a system that has worked successfully for some125 years , based on a scientifically unresolved hypothesis

3 - The new Environmental Impact standard has taken priorityover all the other six time-tested ones .

4 - This new Environmental Impact standard has, in reality,become the ONLY benchmark of importance.

AND

5 - Alternative sources of commercial electricitythat just claim to meet this new super-criterion

(to make a consequential impact on CO 2 )

dont even have to provethat they actually do it!


42/182

Lets See HowIndustrial Wind Energy

stacks up against the Power GenerationSix Historical Criteria,

and then how it does regardingthe new item: Emissions ...


43/182

#1 - Does wind energy provide large amounts of electricity ?

Yes, it could. However, its effectiveness from most perspectives is inferior.

For instance, because of the wide fluctuations of wind, it only produces, on average,about 30% of its nameplate power.

This irregularity is compounded by the fact that there is no way to economically store

what is produced for later use.Another example of its dilutedness is that it takes over one thousand times the amouland for wind energy to produce a roughly equivalent amount of power as does a nuclearfacility.


44/182

100 acres of this=

100,000+ acres of this


45/182

2 - Does wind energy provide reliable & predictable electricity ?

NO. Despite the wind industrys absolute best efforts it is not reliable or predictablecompared to the standards set by our conventional electrical sources .

A wind turbines output varies continuously between zero and 100% of its rated capacity,extremely sensitive to small changes in wind speed and it only operates in a limitedrange of wind speed.

Additionally, wind energy is often not available when power is needed most.

52/182

3 - Does wind energy provide dispatchable electricity ?

NO.

Due to its unpredictability, wind can not be counted on to provide power on-demand in other words, on a human-defined schedule.


53/182

Big Brother Strikes Again

Logic would say that this lack of human control is yet another reasonto discard this inferior electrical supply source but no!

We now have the specter of a new remedyto the problem of wind's uncontrollability:

Since we can't control the wind,let's control demandso that it conforms to wind's whims.

This is a key part of whats behind the solutioncalled the Smart Grid .


54/182

4 - Does wind energy dependably provide one or more of the grid demand elements ?

NO.

1 - All electricity produced must be used immediately , as currently there is no way to economically store electricity (and nothing is on the horizon either),

2 - The primary job of Grid operators is to provide a SUPPLY that exactly meets DEMon a second by second basis,

3 - The three types of DEMAND are:

a) Base Load (what is needed 24/7)b) Load Following (normal usage daily changes)c) Peak Load (unexpected surges)

(The next six slides include a basic pictorial representation of these demands.)


55/182

What is Base Load Demand?

Base Load : what is needed 24/7 (about 50% of the total) [This is a predictable underlying demand that is quite consistent throughout the year.]

More on Base Load Demand...

The principle Base Load sources of electrical powerare Nuclear and Coal facilities.

Since Wind Energy can not provide Base Load powerit will not replace any Coal Base Load facilities.

Coal facilities emit 85% of the electrical sectors CO 2.

[Additional Nuclear (or Geothermal) facilities will provide Base Load,so they can replace high emitting Coal facilities. ]

Just remember:85% of the electrical CO 2 emissions

will hardly be touched by wind energy!

59/182

More on Load Following & Peak Load Demands...

The principle Load Following & Peak Load sources of electrical powe

are Hydro, Gas, and select small Coal facilities.Although Wind Energy cant really provide either of these types of power

it is used to reduce the need for Hydro, Gas and small Coal units.

Gas facilities emit only 15% of the electrical sectors CO 2.

Just remember:when wind replaces Hydro, there are zero CO 2 savings;

when wind replaces Gas or small Coal,there are miniscule CO 2 savings.

[The later is due to thermal inefficiencies, which means that the Gas or small Coal units are operating inefficiently

ramping up and down, just like your car does in stop-and-go traffic.

Yes it will is the claim of promoters(based on favorable computer projections).

5 - Is wind energy compact ?

NO. To even approximate the nameplate power of a conventional facility, like nuclear,takes something like a thousand times the amount of area.

Connecting multiple wind projects spread over vast areas is a Tinkertoy solution whichalso completely undermines the objective to be a concentrated power source.

Another feature of wind energy is that most of the windiest sites (and available land)are a LONG way from where the electricity is needed.

This will result in thousands of miles of huge unsightly transmission towers and cables,at an enormous expense to citizens much of it completely unnecessary.


67/182

69/182

Some Consequences of the Thousands of Miles

New Transmission Lines Required by Wind Ener 1 - Signicant Construction Cost (materials, land, etc.)* 2 - Major Environmental Impact (visually, herbicides, etc.) 3 - Considerable Loss of Efciency (10% for every 60 miles) 4 - Potentially Adverse Health Effects (e.g. with EMFs)

* Note that due to some technical factors, the cost of transmitting wind energy is 2 to 3 timesthe cost for transmitting conventional power. In Eastern states the cost has been from $2 million

to $10 million per mile.

Note also that the Smart Grid is NOT the same thing as additional transmission lines.See reference for a more accurate story behind the Smart Grid.


70/182

6 - Does wind energy provide economical electricity ?

NO, not compared to conventional sources.

We will look at the economics from three (3) perspectives a) Total Costs (Capital + Operation/Maintenance + Fuel) b) Taxpayer funded incentives c) Ratepayer costs

Note that in addition to these there are still more wind energy necessitated expenses(like the cost of a backup power source, the extra transmission lines needed, etc.).

In ADDITION to the generous Federal subsidies,many states offer nancial incentives for wind energy like:


75/182

many states offer nancial incentives for wind energy, like:

1.Personal Tax Incentives 2. Corporate Tax Incentives

3. Sales Tax Incentives 4. Property Tax Incentives 5. Rebates 6. Grants 7. Loans 8. Industry Support 9. Bonds, and 10. Production Incentives.

On top of these financial incentives, state and local governments have established rules,

regulations and policies (like RPS ), with the purpose of encouraging or mandating thdevelopment and increased sale and consumption of energy from renewable sources.


76/182

And More To Come!

IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING:

on 12/08 some 200 (!) bills were pending before the U.S. Congressthat include even more incentives

for various types of alternative energy, mostly wind energy...

The bottom line of this unprecedented giveaway is that 1 - wind energy developers make 25% profit,2 - oil and other multi-national companies invest in wind energy to avoid most taxes.

NO!

No independent scientific study has ever shown that wind energy saves a meaningfulamount of CO 2.

In fact, the most independent scientific study done (by the National Academy of

Sciences) says the U.S. CO 2 savings by 2020 will amount to only 1.8% .[An EIA report for the US Congress concluded that CO 2 savings would be about 1.3%

This is a simply stunning disparity.

(MW), over a dened time period[See graph for those typical amount

What happens, though, is thatTHEY ALL GET PAID THE AMOUOF THE HIGHEST BID UTILIZ

(In this example it is $80/MWh.)

This is yet another reason why wind pois exceptionally protable.

More on price suppression #2...


120/182


The savings calculation is based on assumption: if there is 500 MW of ad

wind power, then that would shift the lopart of the supply curve to the righ

(see graph), and maybe result ina lower cost across the board.

In this example it does change thefrom $80/MWh to $60/MWh.

So is this a true savingsfrom adding wind power?

More on price suppression #3...


121/182


Their chart also demonstrates another f ANY NEW LOW COST SUPPLY TH

PROVIDES AN EXTRA 500 MW WOULD ALSO SHIFT THE CURVE T

THE RIGHT! (See graph.)

Go back to Summit gure 44 and you

that adding 500 MW of Nuclearprovide the exact same price suppress

So the REAL question is this:does wind energy provide price suppre

compared to Nuclear power ?The answer is NO.

Summary Th Fi i l B fit f RPS


122/182

The Financial Benefits from an RPS:1 - Economic Development very little2 - Price (Rate) Suppression zero3 - Environmental tiny

These conclusions are based on NY states own analysis!

To get these Benefits NYS is spending

something like Two Billion Dollars

What IS a Renewable Anyway?

An energy resource that is replaced in a reasonable amount of time.


123/182

Some experts believe that we have2500 years of nuclear fuel available.

Who is to say what is a reasonable amount of time?10 years?

100 years?1000 years?

Yet most politicians and environmentalistsarbitrarily choose not to call nuclear a renewable...

On The Other Hand Consider This:

Large amounts of LAND are a necessary elementf d l d


124/182

of industrial wind energy generation.

In the US we will run out of suitable land for industrial wind energy before we run out of any fossil fuels used for electricity!

Shouldnt the whole package qualify

before a source is labelled as renewable?

But land is NOT replaced in a reasonable amount of time.

So Which is the True Renewable:


125/182

Wind Energy

or

Nuclear Power?

Our Electrical Power Choices are

1: a 1 GW Nuclear Facility OR


130/182

2: a 1 GW Wind Power Project+ a 1 GW Gas (low efficiency) Facility

Lowest Total Cost = #1Lowest KWH Rate = #1

Lowest CO2 Emissions = #1Least Transmission Lines = #1Least Environmental Harm = #1Least Human Harm = #1Most Compact = #1Most Renewable = #1Fastest Online = #2

SCORECARD:

Does this sound like aWise National Electrical Energy Policy?


131/182

1 - Spend something like a Trillion dollars,2 - Increase utility rates substantially,3 - Cover 100,000++ acres of land with wind turbines,4 - Have a thousand+ miles of new transmission lines, and5 - Cause numerous hardships to humans and the environment.

Net Benet: Save 2% CO 2

By promoting Wind Energy, this is the path we are currently on...

A Solution for Every Problem NOT1- Wind is unreliable2 Wind is unpredictable

1-Back it up with fossil fuel sources2 Have massive redundancy


132/182

2- Wind is unpredictable3- Wind is uncontrollable4- Wind is very expensive5- Wind doesnt save very

much CO 26- Wind causes human health

problems7-No utility wants windetc., etc.

2-Have massive redundancy3-Change demand to accommodate the wind4-Make conventional sources more costly5-Sell wind instead as a source of economic

development6- Who cares? Its just a few complainers in

some rural areas7-Mandate wind with a RPSetc., etc.

This is what happens when politicians supportlobbyists driven solutions rather than scientific ones.

Unsatisfactory in ANY setting.

Does wind energys abysmal failuremean that all renewables are similarly poor?


136/182

NO!

Each new alternative power source needs to beobjectively evaluated, independently i.e. using Scientific Methodology.

From scientific literature (e.g. MITs 2007 report)industrial Geothermal holds significant promise.

An example of how

Industrial Geothermal works.


137/182

Fact: The earths magma is hotter than the surface of the Sun!Fact: Industrial Geothermal can be located almost anywhere.

Fact: In 2007, Industrial Geothermal produced as much U.S.electricity as Wind Energy did!

The Basics of a Solution...1 - Set up an Energy FDA . (See EEA article at WindPowerFacts.Info)

[This would assure that for any alternative power source to be an acceptable new option


139/182

[This would assure that for any alternative power source to be an acceptable new option,it would need independent & objective scientific testing to verify that it was technolog

economically and environmentally sound and at least equal to conventional sources.]

2 - Only give Federal & State subsidies to technologies that pass theEnergy FDA. (We would save about 75% of what is scheduled now.)

3 - Use 90% of what we do spend on improving the conventional

sources that already work (e.g . by reducing their pollutants ). Thiswould include promoting nuclear power, worldwide.

4 - Use the rest to explore new options like increasing deliveredefficiency, improving motor efficiencies, etc. Citizens, businesses& the utility industry must get serious about minimizing waste

Another Potential Solution:


145/182

Typical electric motors are only 50-60% efcientMaking these motors more efcient,would save enormous amounts of electricity

Example: Trezium Costs more to begin with, but

Reduces electricity loss by up to half Weighs half as much for the same output Is more reliable and more durable Runs safer and quieter Has less lifetime maintenance
