We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans

WUWT;

All wind farms operating today in Poland will be scrapped by 2035, with no new turbines built to replace them, stipulates draft “Energy Policy of Poland until 2040” presented by Ministry of Energy on Friday.

    1. It’s not actually about AGW at all. It’s about providing a useful source of electricity. That’s why Poland announced that it will be carrying out its nuclear construction program.

      By committing to build new nuclear, they are moving in the exact opposite direction of their neighbour Germany. This announcement was made, notice the date, just before Poland hosted the annual COP conference in Katowice in December. From discussions I had with Polish officials, I would expect they are going to follow the same general model as the UAE which has been a success. In the case of the UAE, their first nuclear plant was finished construction in 2018 before the operating crews were fully ready to assume operation of it.

      1. Nuclear is expensive but it is totally the way to go weather (haha) you believe in Glowball warming or not. The fact that the eco-terrorists are against nuclear energy is reason enough.

        Right now wind is just over 10% of Ontario and nuclear +67%.

        1. Another way of looking at the Supply grid today is that 87% of Ont electricity comes from green, clean efficient sources even without the wind part. (Hydro + Nuclear). Clearly McGuinty-Wynne could have emphasized this, skipped Wind development entirely and saved Ontarians about $12 B in costs and opportunity cost. But eviro-fanatics don’t like nuclear and excluded it from the “renewable” motherhood definition.

      2. I disagree, as it was the hysteria about AGW that spawned all this wind turbine and solar nonsense with the associated punishing costs for the ordinary people and for industry. Each of those energy sources have a place in the mix. My son-in-law uses solar to power the electric fences around his pasture fields.

        Providing a useful, clean, and as cheap as possible source of electricity should be the goal of every government; not forcing people to live in the cold and darkness and chose between food and staying warm.

        Good for Poland for going nuclear as well.

  1. The Polish people probably regret their move to that junk. Good for them. Here, we will never admit to such government fraud under the Liberals.

  2. I wouldn’t be surprised if some used Wind Turbines turn up on the far side of Harrington Lake.

      1. I seem to remember a plan to put off shore turbines near the Kennedy compound. Needless to say, America’s royal family didn’t let that happen.

  3. Good.

    Let the Germans try to run their economy on unicorn farts because they’re too stingy to pay a Slav a fair price for his coal and oil. It will only bring forward the day the Fourth Reich is smashed to pieces and the Germans hauled off to Siberia by victorious Slavs, as they should have been in 1945.

  4. When the dead turbines litter the Canadian landscape and no one can or will service or remove them we will achieve the same thing that Poland will. Add to that coming millions of tons of waste from dead solar panels and you will have a ecological nightmare on your hands.

    1. Having been somebody else’s lab experiment in social engineering for decades. The Poles are done letting foreign communists tell them what to do.
