Watts is Power, not Energy. Power is rate of transfer of energy. It is pointless trying to talk about these things – much as I agree with the general geist of what you are trying to say – if you don’t know the meanings of words.
1 watt is 1 Joule per second
1 Joule is the energy expended by a cleaner pushing a broom with a force of 1 Newton for a distance of 1 Metre. 1 Newton is about a tenth of a kilogramforce.
Why make statements which are obviously stupid ?
Saddam could have picked up his innovation phone instead he picked up the military phone the rest is history.
A solution to an energy problem in a desert is using solar and winds to build an efficient energy grid. When there is no wind there is light/sun all day. There are thousand of miles of desert not being used. Solar and wind can offer the desert land more purpose and less consequential issues associated with war.
Innovation works.

wind energy has been used for thousands of years as a reliable energy source.
the is tried tested and true.
denmark holland and germany has developed this technology for years and it has worked wonders.
the problem is that US havent started to develop this technology.
then why not start doing it earlier
it is way logical then doing it later when we are in deep trouble.
fossil fuel will run out in the near future
“it is tried and tested” – but the results are ignored
I.e.
Public meeting Llandeilo uk July ’05
Cost of proposed farm — 153M
Annual income from energy it would supply ——— 000point2M i.e. 200k
Why pay 153M pounds (worth of Co2 pollution) in order to obtain
25 years x 200k pounds-worth of clean energy ? Can you explain rather than change the subject.
Wind energy USED to work, – it has worked wonders – but if you open your eyes you will see that it was different
It depends what you mean by “Wind”.
If you nean “modern windfarms”, then the biggest “problem” is that they don’t actually provide enuf energy in their entire lives to enable a replacement to be made. They are in fact the governments “fig-leaf” Window dressing.
returning a small fraction of one percent, p.a. of their cost. Meanwhile 5% p.a. is readily obtainable from a sensible design.
The problem IS, that they haven’t actually worked-out how to do it – but carry on as tho’ they had.
Any device whatsoever will require to be MADE – i.e. constructed ? – you dig ? (you get coal !) This is investment, and inevitably also some ammount of polution – Co2 etc. So – if the thing doen’t last long-enuf to provide the energy to make two more, we are just making further mess.
if you don’t use *clean natural energie* you’ll have to use combustible and this will contribute to the global warming. That’s why i think we MUST turn to that kind of energie. But it’s true that there are some little bads things reliated to this. but it’s better than the negatives effects of combustible fossile or nuclear .
Are you kidding me or what.
It is fruitless having an discussion with you.
It is so disingenuous to play around with facts like that.
Your arguement is so weak that it is disgraceful.
Your arguement is against wind energy is a wind farm that hasn’t been built yet and it is only proposed with a cost you just pulled out of your ass of 153M.
You could do a better job that that, it is pathetic.
If i were you i would weight the return with the cost. What is the real life generating capacity
and then do a ROI, to see if it is viable or not.
Am I argueing with retard.
you lack of intelligence, and your inability to form a logical arguement against my point of view just blow my mind.
Wind energy is the fastest growing energy sector in the United States…Wind energy represents nearly 5% of the US electrical generation and is targeted to reach 20% in the future. The United States is developing key projects in the wind market. Companies like Pacific Crest Transformers offer custom built transformers for wind energy farms.
West Texas is butt ugly. Especially around Midland. If I could drive to New Mexico or Colorado without passing through, I would. The windmills are an improvement. The land owner who has a problem with the windmills should sell his land and move somewhere else because I can tell you the windmills are here to stay.
They are hypnotic at night. All red blinking in unison. I always wonder though about the lone red light that blinks out of sync.
ur probably from up north… yeah the town is dry, i wouldnt want it all green, west texas life style is an honor, something ur hybrid driving,recycling ass wouldnt know about…i can tell u dont know anything about hard work or how to wake up at 5 in the morning knowing ur going to bust ur ass,.. i can tell ur just a pussy city boy..feel sorry for u
they should like,put solar pannels all over those things like a 2 for 1
when i first moved to west, tx i thought it was butt ugly too. after spending some time there though, it really grows on you. at first glance, it may seem bland. but there’s a lot more than meets the eye. the region itself is huuugee and has plenty of different geographic formations- endless plains to quiet deserts to redrock canyons and mountains, ect.
if youve ever seen purple, green, orange, red, blue, yellow, gray, and pink in the same sunset; or watched a violent thunderstorm rage all day that never even reaches you.. its quite a humbling experience. not to mention the stars at night!!
LOL at ‘Texas is butt ugly.’
Texas leads the United States in wind power production. Wind energy is the fastest growing energy sector. Many companies are putting in great efforts to build a renewable energy economy. One such company is Pacific Crest Transformers. It has been partnering with the wind energy sector since 1985.
when these get old, they will be removed and even bigger ones installed, they were smart enough to get land leases of 150 years so other could not take the sweet spots.
@Mactekus if you noticed his land was not on a Mesa. he probably wasnt given the option of a land lease he is bitter his neighbors were. he sould not have to move and he doesnt have to move, he sould stay and raise cows. but if he were smart he would put up his own wind mill
to meet his personal needs.
@arispe04 nopw hold on partner, whats so smart about getting up at 5 AM and busting ass, i used to get up at 4;30 to get to work at the hospital so all the work could be done befor the doctors get up. smart no. but building all the wind farms
seems brilliant. to bad the city folk cant figure it out. those big citys can be justs as windy.
@catjones271 i have been all over the world, i have even lived on islands. the sky is the same everywhere, and i never get board looking at it.
I grew up in west Texas. Every time I pass through Sterling City, I am amazed at how many more wind turbines have been added since the time before.
West Texas is always windy and the perfect place to start producing wind energy. When the price of oil skyrockets again, we will be glad to have other sources—and non-polluting.
I don’t think the wind farms detract from the landscape at all. It’s all flat with microwave towers and telephone poles.
I sell residential wind turbines and most are available with an adapter to “plug in” solar panels. That way there is no need to rewire to your home. Your ready to roll.
@812anita thats awesome!!!
Looking at videos today. I like the clip, nice job joebro32, have a look at my Home Wind Turbine videos and subscribe or friend me if you like.
