AWED Newsletters: 2020 back through 2009

(17,000+ Studies, Reports & Articles on Energy, Environment, Education, etc.)

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in defending citizen’s rights by improving national, state, and local technical policies, worldwide. Our premise is that technical matters (like climate change, our energy options, etc.) should be addressed by using Real Science. A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every two weeks we put together a detailed Newsletter digest of recent relevant articles, reports and studies, to try to balance what is found in the mainstream media about a wide range of national-interest issues. We believe that citizens can’t effectively defend their rights unless they are educated about the societal options we have. To review and research the last 11± years of our Newsletter, see this. The purpose of this extensive compilation is to make it easier to search for pertinent studies, reports and articles on a specific topic (e.g. wind energy interference with the military). It is advisable to try multiple search words — e.g. military, army, navy, etc. (Search terms are case insensitive on this PDF document.) Note 1: The Newsletters complement what’s on the AWED website: WiseEnergy.org. Note 2: For links to other excellent sources of articles on Energy and Environmental matters please see the “Current News” page on our website. See also our list of quality books on Climate Change and Energy. Note 3: If you’d like your own personal (free) copy of this unique Newsletter, please email John Droz [aaprjohn at northnet dot org] and simply ask. Note 4: We originally verified that all the links below worked — but over time these can change. If you find any errors, please email John Droz [aaprjohn at northnet dot org] and we will try to make corrections. This is Revision: 4-29-21. ------

2015 Energy & Environmental Newsletters (1200± Studies, Reports & Articles on Energy, Environment, Education, etc.)

2015 Energy & Environmental Newsletters (1200± Studies, Reports & Articles on Energy, Environment, Education, etc.)

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies, world-wide. Our premise is that technical matters (like climate change, our energy options, etc.) should be addressed by using Real Science. (Please see WiseEnergy.org for more information). A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every 2-4 weeks we put together a Newsletter to try to balance what is found in the mainstream media about Energy and Environmental issues. (More recently we have also included articles about Science and Education.) We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance in publishing the Newsletters. Note 1: The Newsletters are intended to complement what’s on our website: WiseEnergy.org.

— Page 281 — Note 2: For links to other excellent sources of articles on Energy and Environmental matters please see the “Current News” page on our website.

Note 3: The purpose of this extensive compilation is to make it easier to search for pertinent studies, reports and articles on a specific topic (e.g. wind energy interference with the military). It is advisable to try multiple search words — e.g. military, army, navy, etc. (Search terms are case insensitive over this PDF document.)

Note 4: We originally verified that all the links below worked. — but over time these can change. If you find any errors, please email John Droz [aaprjohn at northnet dot org] and we will try to make corrections. This is Rev: 12-28-19. ------

Breaking good news!

In a somewhat obscure local NNY newspaper (not online) there is a story today about Iberdrola canceling a wind project in Hammond, NY. A local blogger picked it up, and reprinted it.

Why this is a rather major piece of news is the following sentence: "Iberdrola Business Development Manager Jenny Briot has stated that her company is canceling 100 projects in the United States..."

Thought you'd want to know this tidbit, as it may affect a proposed project in your area... ------

Regarding the PTC...

To get a better understanding of how politics work (and an appreciation that current politics are actually not the worst) see the movies Lincoln and Amazing Grace. Speaking of how our legislative process works, please watch this short on-point video. Two good background documents (here & here) about how the PTC got extended. This article shows that the PTC proponents were surprised at their success. Wind Energy’s Celebration will be Short Lived. An encouraging perspective on the PTC extension. The wind industry says that the PTC renewal won’t help much. Crony Capitalist Blowout. Special Interests well served. Battle Over PTC Leaves Industry Bruised. XCEL may leave AWEA.

— Page 343 — Grassley behind the PTC. Regarding the US PTC extension (H.R.8), we are investigating: 1) how to have a more restrictive definition of “construction” in H.R.8 (Section #407 (b), p 29). This would save taxpayers considerable dollars. 2) how to get the PTC extension cancelled. This can not be stand-alone legislation, but might be able to be added to some larger bill (e.g. the upcoming debt-reduction matter). Our chances of success are low as the $12+ Billion at stake is still tiny compared to the Trillions we have as a deficit ------

As we start a new year, and face new challenges, one of our most pressing issues is to do a better job with Public Relations. We need a few good people who have PR experience, and are willing to commit some time to helping us formulate and implement a better PR plan. If you are interested, or know someone else who would be, please email me at [email protected].

In my post-mortem email, I should have added another goal for 2013: 4) To get EIA to have more accurate levelized costs for wind energy.

I’ve put together a new page about fixing the RPS situation. We will be working with citizens where the political atmosphere is receptive to fixing some of these charades. If you have solid evidence that your state is such a case, please let us know by emailing me, ASAP.

Called SAVING PARADISE, it's an "eco-thriller" based on the experiences of an ex-Special Forces vet who gets tied up in the murder of a journalist by a wind energy company.

He says the reason he wrote the book was to educate people about the wind scam. All royalties and net proceeds are going to anti-wind funding. He has worked out a process with his publisher that if an anti-wind group wants to offer the book to its members, we can provide it at cost, and the group makes about $8 per book.

Several articles this issue are about the President’s proposed energy and environmental policies. Since none of these appear to be based on genuine science, it means that we will be having to speak up, in a load, clear and unified voice, about how our representatives need to do the right thing.

My apologies as to who suggested it recently, as I forgot. In any case I want to pass on a good PR move. The suggestion was that from now on instead of using the term “renewables” (which is an unscientific and inaccurate characterization anyway), to instead call wind and solar: unreliables.

An important, new, professionally made film about wind energy is Wind Rush. Although the director makes the obligatory inaccurate statements about wind energy “benefits” (the media has to be balanced!), the message is inescapably that wind is not everything it’s made out to be.

A fascinating technical study at Phys.Org concludes that turbines have adverse consequences to grid stability. For example: “wind turbines do not only transfer wind intermittency to the grid, but they also amplify it… The data also shows that wind power intermittency does not only affect the output of individual turbines, as previous research has shown, but it also extends to entire wind farms, which has not been observed before.”

Thanks to the MANY US citizens who called congressional legislators to object to the 1603 credit and the PTC subsidy being included in the unemployment tax bill. We WON that skirmish!

This has not ended yet as these rent-seeking parasites are continuing to try to latch onto our tax dollars — now with the Transportation bill.

Senator Bennett filed Amendment #1709 to the Transportation bill that would extend the PTC, and negotiations are still on going to determine which amendments are considered.

There is no way to tell what back-room deals are being made, so we should all be concerned that this (or some other PTC) amendment will come up for a vote.

US citizens need to call their Senate offices and urge them to oppose the Bennett Amendment #1709 to the Transportation bill, and ANY extension of the wind energy PTC. Encourage your Senator to make decisions based on sound science (which includes financial responsibility).

Senator Lamar Alexander made a very good speech on the topic <>.

A week or so ago I sent out an appeal to our network to vote on the very important Wall Street Journal poll about the PTC. At the time we were losing by a few thousand votes. Within a day we went ahead by over 5000 votes, and continue to hold that lead! Not sure when this poll will be concluded, but THANK YOU for stepping up BIG TIME against AWEA and their allies.

Since there was a national interview with AWED's Dr. George Taylor on the US Weather Channel (re the PTC), I thought it would be appropriate to remind you of some turbine-weather related studies that apply in any country.

There have been several investigations done by independent scientists that have concluded that wind projects will have an affect (typically negative) on local meteorological conditions — for as much as fifteen miles away!

Here is one such study (University of Illinois), and a second on a different aspect, a third (George Mason University), a fourth (six PhDs, different schools), a fifth (seven PhDs, multiple institutions), and a sixth (MIT). Even offshore wind gets into the picture.

For onshore projects, this weather impact (e.g. lower humidity) will adversely affect agriculture and wildlife — up to fifteen miles away! — and is yet another unaccounted wind cost. ------

1/5/11 Friends:

This is the current issue of my informal, free collection of recent electrical energy-related developments. Since citizens are daily inundated with material coming out on this topic, I am trying to present a digest summary of the most pertinent applicable information. My bias is for articles that are: scientific, independent, informative, constructive, and/or well-written. (I would STRONGLY recommend that you SAVE these emails, as you might need links to some good articles in the future.)

At last count there are over 4000 readers of the newsletter. If there are some other open-minded people you think would like this newsletter feel free to pass it on — or provide me with their email addresses and I will include them in the future.

My core message is: Scientifically Sound Solutions not Palliative Political Pablum

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

What this translates to is that the policy statement of any true environmental organization should be the following:

— Page 424 — 1) We believe that we have environmental and energy issues, and 2) We believe that these matters should be resolved by applying the Scientific Method.

The Scientific Method consists of a comprehensive, objective, independent, transparent and empirical-based assessment. Anything less would amount to promoting a political policy rather than a science oriented one. Citizens should insist on nothing less from organizations they belong to.

A PLANE CONVERSATION

A politician was seated next to a little girl on an airplane so he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The young girl, who had just started to read her book, replied "What would you want to talk about?

"Oh, I don't know. How about global warming, wind power, or stimulus packages?" as he smiled smugly.

"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff --- grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why is that?"

The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming, wind energy, or the economy, when you don't know shit?" ------

US citizens are faced with two extremely significant legislative matters. Please read this very carefully and pass it on to ANYONE who is concerned about energy and environmental matters:

— Page 443 — Go here (<>) to fill out a simple form to send to your representatives to support the McConnell Amendment, which would restrict EPA’s unwarranted and unscientific intrusions. It will only take two minutes, so please do this right now.

2 - The US Senate Energy Committee has just issued a white paper about a proposed Clean Energy Standard (CES) — something that may profoundly affect the future of things like wind energy in the US. The status of things is that they are now having a two week public comment period.

They are asking for inputs on six aspects of this proposed measure. Reading over the white paper I am encouraged that they are at least asking some good questions. As such we need to submit intelligent responses.

My strategy is going to respond to the Executive Summary part only (and then elaborate a bit on an Additional document), as I am advocating the Big Picture approach. To me the fundamental problem here is with methodology. I’m advocating changing the prior slogan of “It’s the Economy, Stupid” to “It’s The System, Stupid!” or “The Process is the Problem”.

Some recent energy articles of interest — An interesting article appeared in a wind industry trade journal: “Is Wind Energy The New Wedge Issue For Conservatives?” (<>).

Some of the comments are: “The acrimony is being powered by a combination of small-government conservatives who see wind and other renewables as a waste of money and by others who consider wind a technology that will never be as effective as oil, coal or natural gas.” In other words people are objecting to wind energy as it is expensive and ineffective. Imagine that!

And there is this from the comptroller of Texas (a very pro-wind state): “wind is an expensive boondoggle that does not produce jobs.”

So note that the industry does not respond with proof that these positions are wrong, but rather tries to dismiss them as being political...

Most of us know that the term “wind power” is an inappropriate contradiction, and is not a wise choice to use in public discourse.

I received hundreds of supportive emails about my presentation to NC legislators. This one had observations that apply to many others fighting this cause, so apply it to yourself:

— Page 477 — “I think some of the reason for the strong positive response (both from politicians and public), is that those who are anxious about being "hustled" into Green Penury have needed cover -- some coherent and reasonably "authoritative" position and core assessment (with documentation) around which to coalesce or to stand on in the face of push-back and the inevitable ‘science-denier’ contempt attacks. Some of this, albeit somewhat politicized, has come from the House hearings and legislative action. But something more is needed at the state/city level, I think.

“You have gone some way towards giving both the tools they need and a crystallization or shaping of their own observations and concerns. The dynamic is also, I gather, that once some objectors come out of the closet, others gather around in relief, happy to discover they're not alone.

And this just came up, which is also connected. Even though I was a Physics major, for a freshman college English class I had to do extensive research on writer John Milton (among others). I was reminded of that when I read a newspaper commentary this week about a famous speech he made in 1644, titled Areopagitica. It seems to apply to wind zealots (esp those in the government). Milton says that the power of well-publicized Truth will inevitably win out: “Though all the winds of doctrine were let loose to play on the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously, by licensing and prohibiting, ... misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?” ------

I hope that you and your family are experiencing some spiritual refreshment during this special time of the year, where we should reflect on our many blessings.

Here is a small token of my appreciation for your efforts this year: <>.

The second major proposed NC wind project is now before the NC Utilities Commission. Last week I submitted an 18 page critique of the developer’s (Invenergy) application.

I spent several days on this as I wanted it to be somewhat of a template that YOU could use, in your area. As such I tried to incorporate a wide range of some of our best arguments against wind energy.

Please take a close look at it, and feel free to use whatever you find useful in your own situation. I posted it online as a Word document, so that it would be easy to download and edit.

I will periodically update this generic version (changing the date) so if you have any suggestions for improvement, let me know. **************

Thank you for your inspiring support in 2011. Despite a few disappointing setbacks, we made many extremely significant gains. I remain very optimistic that as long as we stick to the Science path that this positive progress will continue.

My best wishes for your health and happiness in 2012. john droz, jr.

After putting on more detailed energy presentations in numerous communities, I periodically get asked to put on a brief (10-20 minute) version for such things as Rotary luncheons.

We all had a rare insight into the inner workings of the government, with this matter of Senator Bunning. The gist of the matter is that for several days the senator refused to allow passage of a 10 Billion dollar measure until there was money identified to pay for it. The nerve! What a rebel!

I didn’t see one major media outlet come to his defense. Instead they all lamented the “loss” for the beneficiaries of this unfunded largesse. None seemed to grasp the idea that we ALL are the losers for such financial irresponsibility.

My general plan is to send out a mailing when there enough new stories to warrant your attention. I don’t like to bother people with information overload.

So, even though the last newsletter was only a week ago, several important documents have been published. I take this as a good sign, as it seems like there are more “good” articles appearing every day.

On the flip side (I was a Dj in college) I heard last night on CNBC a good discussion of some of the adverse impacts of the Democrat’s proposed health care bill. One of them was the likelihood that this “success” would embolden them to resurrect the Cap and Trade measure. If not then a national RPS is likely to be proposed. In any case, no time for resting on our laurels.

I still believe that we need a national pro-science campaign, prepared by people with Public Relations expertise. If you have any assistance you’d like to offer in that regard, please let me know. ------

As some of you know, I have spent over 25 years in working on water quality issues (primarily in NYS). As such I have an extensive list of contacts interested in water issues, and do periodic emailings to them. Recently I did one that has direct applicability to people interested in energy matters:

Since you are interested in water-related issues, you might be interested in this recent scientific report <>.

It states: — Page 503 — "Researchers have discovered that some of the most fundamental assumptions about how water moves through soil in a seasonally dry climate such as the Pacific Northwest are incorrect – and that a century of research based on those assumptions will have to be reconsidered. The finding is so significant, researchers said, that they aren’t even sure yet what it may mean. But it could affect our understanding of how pollutants move through soils, how nutrients get transported from soils to streams, how streams function and even how vegetation might respond to climate change."

This is yet another example of how long held beliefs are not necessarily true. Additionally it points out how computer models are completely restricted by the assumptions made — and when such assumptions are false, or incomplete, then the result(s) will be wrong.

Adherence to the Scientific Method is far and away the best solution available to solving these kinds of complex technical problems.

In todays' society where everyone wants quick soundbite answers, we often skip applying the Scientific Method as it "takes too long" or for other such unsound reasons. Instead we rely on such unscientific alternatives as "consensus." Consensus never was, and never will be, true science.

What this reminds us is that we depart from the Scientific Method at our extreme peril. ------

The Putting Some Balance To It Department — In what could have profound consequences to our energy policy, the state of Texas has sued the EPA about their proposed CO2 rules, etc. The suit is focused “on the indisputable fact that the EPA relied on information that has been discredited, manipulated, lost or destroyed, and sometimes evaded peer review.” This is quite important to the wind energy business, as the EPA (if unchecked) will likely use their CO2 rules to justify mandating wind energy — a national Renewable Portfolio Standard.

THEY MAY HAVE RELEVANCE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY!

1 - The National Historic Preservation Act established the ACHP. ACHP is the only entity with the legal responsibility to encourage federal agencies to factor

I just came across this accomplished European journalist, Peter Skeel Hjorth. He has written some good articles about energy, like “The Inhuman Face of Swedish Wind Power” <>. What he says applies to NYS, Ontario, Australia, England, etc.

Then he employed his artistic son to edit the famous painting of Delacroix to reflect the situation we now find ourselves in: ------

As I reported in the last issue, I was recently inspired to write a new paper trying to make the point that wind energy is absolutely NOT just a diluted, less efficient version of our conventional sources (e.g. nuclear power).

Kent Hawkins did a fine technical analysis of three prominent locations analyzing a critical question: how much CO2 was saved by wind energy. The conclusion: “In summary, the Netherlands experience is that at wind penetration of about 3% the fossil fuel and CO2 emissions saving is reduced to zero. As wind penetration is increased, the Colorado and Texas experience shows that the savings become negative, that is, fossil fuel and CO2 emissions are increased.” <>. ------

I share the views expressed by this video <>. ------

6/14/10 Friends:

A question that I believe is fundamental here is: what exactly is the best way to go about fighting the scourge of industrial wind energy. “Best” would be the choice that gives us the highest likelihood for success. Small local groups resisting big wind, start off at a substantial disadvantage — so getting it right is their best hope for winning.

This post of mine (just came out today) summarizes my view <>. The part 2 portion (tomorrow) is feedback from a small group that has been successful, that shares their conclusions. Today I don’t know the exact URL but go to <> and you’ll find it. Please feel free to add your comments to either post!

------7/12/10 Friends:

This is the latest issue of my informal, free collection of recent electrical energy-related developments. Since citizens are daily inundated with material coming out on this topic, I am trying to present a digest summary of the most pertinent applicable information. My bias is for articles that are: scientific, independent, informative, constructive, and/or well-written. (I would STRONGLY recommend that you SAVE these emails, as you might need links to some good articles in the future.)

At last count there are over 3000 readers of the newsletter. If there are some other open-minded people you think would like this newsletter feel free to pass it on — or provide me with their email addresses and I will include them in the future.

My core message is: Scientifically Sound Solutions not Palliative Political Pablum

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

What this translates to is that the policy statement of any true environmental organization should be the following:

1) We believe that we have serious environmental and energy issues, and 2) We believe that these matters should be solved by applying the scientific method.

Anything less would amount to promoting a political policy rather than a science-based one. Citizens should insist on nothing less from organizations they belong to.

------

— Page 530 — I was contacted by a citizen-oriented organization last week and asked my opinion as to how the foolishness we are experiencing (regarding solving technical issues) can be best resolved. After giving it some thought here is what I wrote him. I am passing it on as it might help others see this in a different perspective. If you have ideas to add, please let me know.

Once a critically thinking organization gets the big picture — they have (in my opinion) four alternatives to bring about change: 1 - educate open-minded citizens and hope that enough of them get together and speak up; 2 - get other like-minded organizations onboard, so they inform their members and they (the organizations) take a public position on the issues; 3 - hire lobbyists to counter the incessant self-serving lobbying that politicians are currently subjected to; 4 - sue the government for their wrongful actions.

Now lets compare each of these three ways: a) expense, b) likelihood of success, and c) time needed for meaningful results

#1 Expense = lowest; Likelihood of success = moderate; Time needed for results = longest (many years). #2 Expense = low; Likelihood of success = high; Time needed for results = moderate. #3 Expense = highest; Likelihood of success = high; Time needed for results = moderate. #4 Expense = high; Likelihood of success = highest; Time needed for results = short.

(These ratings are approximations, as other variables could change the assessments above.)

There is no reason why several of these can't be combined or worked on in parallel — in fact that would be advisable.

I am a big believer in doing #1, which is why I write articles, put on presentations, etc

Much more is needed to do regarding #2. We need help by lining up and keeping track of sympathetic organizations.

After that, to get the quickest and most dramatic results, these organizations should consider a lawsuit. I have a powerful lawsuit idea waiting in the wings — but we need to have committed competent organizations onboard first ------

— Page 531 — Sorry, but I had a typo in John Terry’s email address last issue, so let me start over. For newer readers here (and prior ones who haven’t been there recently) John Terry has done a superb job of creating wind cartoons. His website has a collection of these. It’s easy to scroll through the many cartoons, at your own pace.

John was very helpful in creating several of the cartoons I have in my Energy Presentation. Have a good idea? Then email John (“[email protected]”) and he may draw it up for you.

Repeat — Our biggest threat in the US just became the proposed Renewable Energy Standard (RES) just introduced into the US Senate. If passed, this would effectively mandate more wind energy, countrywide. See <>. Here is the text of the proposed legislation (S 3813) <>.

It is IMPERATIVE that you immediately contact your two state senators to express your strong dissatisfaction with this measure. Use your own words, but mandating that we use more of any energy source that has had no independent scientific verification that it has legitimate cost benefits, it an insane energy policy.

Key talking points are that a RES makes as much sense as mandating that 20% of our vehicles be horse drawn, or that 20% of our commercial vessels must be sailing ships — both of those measures would actually reduce fossil fuel use, but at what cost? Reference EnergyPresentation.Info.

This measure has nothing to do with the environment, and is really just about payoffs to political allies, prior to the November election. Find your Senators’ contact info here <>.

One of the main impetuses behind the push for “renewable” energy is the claim that we are running out of conventional energy sources (esp oil). What you may not know is that there is considerable scientific uncertainly behind this contention. Not surprisingly (like AGW, wind energy, etc.) this issue has not been assessed via the Scientific Method.

The key question is “how is oil made”? There are two very different theories behind that: 1) biologically, and 2) abiotic. We have been told that essentially all oil comes from biological sources — which are limited and not quickly renewable. Our energy policies are based on this theory.

There are other qualified scientists who believe that there are essentially unlimited amounts of oil created by the earth’s magma (abiotic) and that it is affordably retrievable. Read this sample commentary: <>.

In my view this is yet another profoundly important matter where we have failed to resolve this issue in a proper, scientific manner (i.e. by using the Scientific Method). ------

Due to many citizens calling in, the “Omnibus” Spending bill has died in the US federal legislature. That’s good, and shows that citizens CAN have an impact.

At this writing, the “Tax” bill is still being debated in the US House. IF YOU HAVE NOT CALLED YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE, PLEASE DO!

One of their strategies for getting this through, is to do it before the media and citizens figure out what is going on. Despite their hurry-up strategy, a few more good critiques have come out, e.g.: <> <>.

2009 Energy & Environmental Newsletters

Special Note: The initial Newsletters were emails sent to a select collection of interested parties. As the interest and material both increased, the Newsletter gradually became more formal. To minimize the space here, I’ve deleted the boilerplate salutation and closing in most of the email Newsletters.

2/19/09 —

Friends:

Some updated information about energy and wind power —

1 - Please watch this short high quality video <> (plus part 2). It is the perspective of a very reasoned family who supports wind power (because they bought the "free,

— Page 583 — clean and green" PR). Note that their house is located 1500 feet from the closest turbine. The wife's observations are calm, intelligent, and instructive.

2 - Energy Pulse moved my Power of Energy article to a different location from the one I sent you before. It is now at <>, and there have been some lively discussion.

3 - I have been communicating for over a week with Dr. Greg Gardner, who will be doing a column for the local paper about wind power. It has been a bit more protracted and academic than I would prefer, but we'll see what happens. Anyway, this experience has prompted me to write another article <>.

4 - The local paper had an interesting advertisement this last weekend that other communities might well want to consider. It specifically delineated the documented conflicts of interests of town board, etc. members: <>. The next day this article appeared in the paper by the irate town supervisor <>.

5 - There has been more in the news about Vibroacoustic disease, and NNY expert Dr. Nina Pierpont has been a major contributor. Here is a page with some good links <>.

Don't want to overwhelm you, so that's probably enough for now. regards, john droz, jr. ------

Friends:

Here we have another energy and wind power update. It is so soon as things are happening fast and furious...

Not sure whether you saw it, but this interesting federal case (against FERC) was decided a few days ago. If I read it correctly it may well have adverse implications for wind power development: <

— Page 584 — www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20090220/NEWS03/302209933/0/ NEWS>>

Not only may this put up an obstacle to wind power (harder to get approvals for interstate transmission lines), but it may create a problem for the whole concept of a national RPS (something else that is being threatened).

On the other hand Senator Reid (possibly in response to that) is proposing that the Federal Government have eminent domain authority for these transmission lines <>. ------

In a related matter, I found this to be a REALLY good explanation of the real story behind the Smart Grid: <>. ------

We are continuing to work against the idea of a national RPS. More later. I’m getting a lot of good commentary on my RPS related piece on Energy Central.

An interesting response is from AWEA. I tried to have a charitable (but pointed) rejoinder to them — see what you think: <>. ------

In related economic matters: 1 - See this site for an informative summary of Economic Stimulus aid by state and city <>.

2 - This Newsweek article offers a different perspective on the reports you have seen about unemployment <>.

3 - This is another interesting Newsweek article, this time on Canadian to US financial comparisons <>. ------

The address to email Obama has changed, and they are also allowing longer remarks (5000 characters): http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ ------

For those who get discouraged about this situation (almost all of us), I strongly recommend that you rent the movie Amazing Grace <>. VERY pertinent.

PS - I won’t say this every email, but if at any time you would like to be removed from this list, just let me know. Conversely if you have someone else you would like to be added, please send me their name, email address, and town where they live.

Also, feel free to pass this information on to any persons who you feel are open-minded about energy matters. ------

3/4/09:

Several of us are continuing to work against the idea of a National RPS.

Last week I sent in the names of four energy experts who volunteered to testify before the US Senate Energy Committee about a national RPS. The next hearing has not been scheduled yet — and today I heard that there may not even be a sond one! — so we are waiting to see whether or not they will be invited to speak.

In the meantime, the Democrats just posted the draft version of their National RPS proposal <>.

To say the least it is a ridiculous document in many ways. Several energy experts have contributed ideas towards making this better, and we are calling those “Plan B.” Our main effort is to stop this entirely, but politics being as they are, that doesn’t look likely.

Our hope is that the Republicans will introduce an alternative measure with some of our suggestions incorporated. We’ll see. If you have connections with any of the members of the Energy Committee, please let me know <>. ------

I just read this column by an editor of a Canadian newspaper: <>.

The Canadian situation parallels ours very closely. Please read it carefully, as that writer is telling it like it is, in a frank manner not often seen in print. ------

— Page 586 — Here is a link to an excellent ad run by a Canadian anti-wind group, called “Is Wind Power Really Green?” <>. ------

Attached is a PDF copy of a good (finally) letter from DEC to the towns of Clayton and Cape Vincent. OTHER NYS TOWNS ACTIVELY DEALING WITH WIND DEVELOPERS SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT! ------john droz, jr. ------

3/11/09:

Several of us are continuing to work on the National RPS matter. Although we are in full agreement that this is a foolish idea, it seems extremely likely that there will be some type of national RPS. As such we are trying to convince the more moderate forces on the Senate Energy committee to craft a RPS that actually might do some good. The jury is still out as to whether we will be successful here. ------

I added two new charts to my presentation (attached PDF). They compare the cost of electricity to the amount of bad renewables (e.g. wind power) and also to the amount of good renewables (e.g. geothermal and nuclear). The next time that someone cites Denmark as a wind power success story, ask them what they think about the idea of their utility cost being THREE TIMES what they are now... ------

And how about the CO2 reduction in Europe — and Denmark? Read this revealing piece that says all this money has done very little: <>. ------

Here is a disconcerting story about a wind turbine collapse in upstate NY last week <>. ------

I was asked to comment on the response given by some wind supporters that all the technology issues with wind power (e.g. battery storage) will soon be worked out. Effectively these non-technical people are predicting our technical future — and their qualifications are? These two historical articles should put the situation about future guesses into perspective: — Page 587 — 1 - predictions in 1950 about 2000. Read it over. Although a few things are similar, most of it is quite off: <>. 2 - prior technology predictions by experts (like Einstein): <>.

Message: those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. ------

In what might be a positive note, this new Federal action seems to mandate more environmental review of things like wind power <>. ------

NYS Senator Schumer (a big wind power supporter) now is formally objecting to wind power developers raising rates (imagine!). <>. ------

In the Wall Street Journal we will likely see more of this, where it says that the Climate Change Lobby now have regrets <> ------

3/22/09:

Rather than send you miscellaneous energy news — which there is a lot of — I want you to focus on ONE topic.

As you may know, I am involved with several other community/environmental issues outside of wind power — like water extraction.

What I’m always on the lookout for are good ideas used by activists in these other areas that might be applicable to the wind power business.

In exploring innovative ways to deal with the wind power intrusion, I have the feeling that the efforts of CELDF (<>) may be applicable.

Although their focus has been in other areas (like commercial water extraction), it seems to me that some aspects of their “rights based” agenda could be transferred to fighting the wind power business. to my knowledge, no one else has made this connection with wind power — so you are the first to hear about it.

— Page 588 — To get an good idea of what this is all about, some activists should attend one of their Democracy School seminars (<>. None are currently offered in NYS, but that represents a business opportunity for an entrepreneur(they are encouraging new schools to open). Their website says:

“At the most fundamental level, our weekend-long Democracy School addresses why democratic self-governance is impossible when corporations wield constitutional rights to deny people's rights, and how we are able to rectify these wrongs.

“Democracy School teaches a paradigm shift, a dramatic new way of looking at our role as citizens in a democracy, and how to assert our inalienable rights as a sovereign people. Attendees explore the limits of conventional regulatory organizing and learn how to "reframe" single issues to confront the rights used by corporations to deny the rights of communities and people.”

What is "rights-based organizing"? It's the strategy that lets us respond to the question: "WHO DECIDES what our community and its environment is going to look like in the future?" with the answer: "THE PEOPLE who live there."

Here is a brief video that gives a glimpse of what this is al about <>

What if the town board is dominated by influenced wind power supporters? They have an answer for that too: a petition that requires a vote on a binding referendum. Here is a recent example where it worked <>.

Please give this some serious thought! ------

3/23/09:

I received a lot of good feedback from my Citizen’s Rights email. In summary they said:

1 - Surprisingly several people on the email list HAD attended CELDF Democracy Schools. From what I could gather, they said that these schools were worthwhile and educational.

Some concluded that (on the surface anyway) the CELDF proposal of a Rights Based Ordinance may not be fully applicable to the typical wind power case.

— Page 589 — The main reason given for that was that for this to work, it’s necessary to have a strong majority of citizens in a town in agreement on such an issue.

Since in some towns there is mixed feelings (due to the financial incentives used as inducements) it isn’t clear that if a wind power prohibition ordinance came to a vote whether there would be a clear majority against it. If your community does have such a majority, then pursuing this angle has some merit.

2 - Some commented that the US is more of a Rebublic than a Democracy. Here is a sample discussion of that important distinction <>. The difference between a Republic and a Democracy lies in the ultimate source of official power. In the case of a Republic, it lies with a charter; in a Democracy, with the rule of the majority. There are pros and cons for either.

Two consequence of the US being more of a Republic is that individual citizen rights are (theoretically) more protected, and this is often contrary to the wishes of the majority. (E.g. a farmer has a right to put up a wind turbine even if the majority of his neighbors are against it. Of course if said turbine has some financial, health, etc. impact on the neighbors, they have a right to sue.)

Two thoughts come to mind: a) this is one reason why stripping the “personhood” of corporations in a local town might have merit. They would no longer be able to argue that their “rights” have been impinged upon when they are denied a business opportunity, and b) if individual rights are supposed to be more protected, then why aren’t the rights of individuals more protected when it comes to the health, financial, environmental hardships some citizens are subjected to by wind power?

3 - A NYS attorney stated that he doubted that a petition for a binding referendum regarding wind power would be legally acceptable. He cited the provisions of NYS Town Law, Section 91. Even if there was a way of doing this, it would still come down to whether or not the majority of citizens in your community would vote against wind power.

4 - A suggestion was made about classifying wind power as a named type of business in the town’s zoning law (e.g. restaurants, auto-repair shop) — and then prohibiting it from most (but not all) zoning classifications (e.g. agricultural), residential. The only zones it wold be allowed in would be very specialized and restricted. This should work, but would depend on having cooperative Planning and Town boards.

— Page 590 — 5 - Some people stated that citizens learning more about their rights was indeed important during these times where both the federal and state governments are trying to take away more of our rights — esp in energy areas. Examples of this are the federal government wanting more authority in siting transmission lines, and states wanting more authority to “fast-track” projects like wind power. Their basic arguments are that they (the government) know best and that what they are doing is for the public good. In my opnion, very little evidence exists to support either assertion.

My conclusion at this point is that it IS worthwhile to explore options and ideas like CELDF is putting forward. To be successful, we need to be creative and aggressive in taking on those with vested financial and self-promotion interests. ------

3/24/09:

Thank you for the many good comments about my most recent newsletter which discussed Citizen Rights. I am fine tuning some details at the moment, and will send out an update on that topic hopefully soon.

In the meantime, some other developments of note:

There was some REALLY good testimony (about nuclear power) before the US Senate Energy Committee on Wednesday. See the video here <>.

The CeO of NEI (Furtel) was particularly reasoned. By contrast, his counterpart (from NRDC) was an embarrassment. Comments by senate members Murkowski, McCain and Sessions are entertaining and well worth seeing. ------

Still working behind the scenes to get away from the Democrats’ proposed national RPS. Haven’t heard anything on this since the last report. ------

An EXCELLENT article just came out exposing the frivolousness of green jobs claims: <>.

In my opinion there are THREE significant things about this report: 1) the study was written by four different PhDs, from four different universities. Maybe this is the start of a pushback from thinking people?

— Page 591 — 2) this report attacks a key component for the justification of wind power: economic benefits. These highly speculative and highly exaggerated claims need to be exposed for what they are, and this study does that.

3) the basis used in the study is exactly the same basis we have been employing against the similarly speculative and exaggerated Co2 savings claims: they have not been subjected to independent scientific verification.

We need to encourage this type of critical thinking! ------Glenn Schleede posted another superior piece, this time addressing the “Homes Served” claim frequently made by wind developers <> ------Other good energy articles are found on the MasterResource site, so it is worth bookmarking. I will have one shortly on the use of the term “renewable”. ------I gave another Energy/Wind Power presentation last Thursday in eastern NC. I thought that it went well. Attached is an updated version of the local newspaper story (PDF). Considering the technical complexity of the topic, I thought that the reporter did a reasonably good job in translating the material. ------4/07/09:

Thank you for the many good comments about my most recent newsletter about Citizen Rights. I am fine tuning some details at the moment, and will send out an update on that topic hopefully soon.

In the meantime, some other developments of note:

Not sure that you have seen this important financial analysis: <>.

This 2008 report compares the cost (Capital + Fuel + Operation) of all major types of electrical power generation, with and without a carbon tax penalty.

The winner in all scenarios is nuclear. The loser in most cases is wind power. In ALL scenarios wind power was more expensive than nuclear... ------

— Page 592 — Another excellent financial analysis (looking at the tax rates of all sources of electrical power)is at <> ------

I’ve incorporated some of these ideas into my Presentation. If you haven’t looked at it in the last few weeks, I have added/changed over 25 pages of material. Check it out at <>. ------

There was an excellent Newsweek article that puts our efforts regarding reducing CO2 into a fairly good perspective. It’s good to see mainstream media taking a more than superficial look at energy issues: <>. ------

This Washington Post story states that “EPA Presses Obama To Regulate Warming Under Clean Air Act” (<>).

But the reality is that it is not the EPA at all that is pressing — it is solely by EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson. interestingly the paper goes on to say that “Johnson's action came in rejection of his scientific and technical staff's recommendation.” Remember that Obama said that it should be all about the science. We’ll see which side he takes here. ------

One strategy I am advocating now is to: 1 - challenge the arbitrary definition these people come up with for "renewable" and 2 - assert that Nuclear is a legitimate renewable.

Here is my article on the first one, and not the AWEA respnse in the comments: <>.

I’ll send an article on the second point in the next issue. ------

A good critique by an Albany Law School professor on the NYS Ethics situation, This is worthwhile reading for citizens of any state or province: <>

I am passing along this request. Please reply to Brad if you can — We are looking for specific information in support of some novel legal action. For any named wind project (anywhere in the US) can you provide:

1. The name and contact information of the electrical contractor who laid or strung the collector cable (i.e. the cable from the turbines to the substation) and/or 2. The name and contact information for the cable manufacturer.

Any help you can provide is most appreciated. Brad Jones “[email protected]” ------

The West Virginia legislators may be setting a very important national precedence. Right now they are half way towards officially counting Nuclear energy in their RPS calculations <>. ------

On my trip home from NC to NY, I have been graciously invited to stop and give my energy presentation in three locations on the way. I’m showing you the schedule for you to pass it on to anyone you may know who is interested in wind power in the Virginia/ West Virginia/ Maryland/ Pennsylvania areas. Based on my congested schedule it is unlikely that I would be giving these again in these areas for at least a year.

4/15/09:

Since most of our communications are about “business” matters, many of you don’t know a lot about me. My dad died last week, so having a quick mention of family seems relevant. I am the oldest of nine children. My wife and I decided to have foster children, and have had seven: all teenagers, and (fortunately) at different times.

To do the optimum parenting job I researched (big surprise) the topic. We concluded that the best advice came from John Rosemond, so we read all his excellent books. One thing he emphasizes are the three “R’s”: Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness. — Page 595 — He also has a national (newspapers) weekly column that touches on salient aspects of parenting. In his 4/7/09 column he talks about the misfocus on self-esteem. In reading this over I couldn’t help but be amazed how closely that situation parallels what is going on with industrial wind power.

So read this if you are interested in good parenting ideas. And read it if you want an interesting energy perspective: just substitute “wind energy” for “self esteem” and see what I mean: <>. ------

Another good article by Michael Trebilcock: “Wind Power is a Complete Disaster.” I added my 2¢ worth after two negative comments. What followed though were several very good remarks. ------Check out this good presentation (PDF file) about the effects of wind energy developments on real estate values, written by an experienced Canadian real estate broker, and based on an analysis of 600 sales over a three year period: <>. He gives wind energy too much credit, but his valuation conclusions (his true area of expertise) are worthwhile. ------

It was good to see that FactCheck made at least a limited attempt to counter the absurd statements recently made by Interior Secretary Salazar about wind energy and coal: <>. Clearly FactCheck should have gone much farther. ------

Here is a fascinating interview with a NY town supervisor, by a sympathetic radio talk show host, talking about their experiences with wind power. What a refreshingly sounding, reasonable person! <>. ------

Jon Boone was assisting a West Virginia group in responding to some specious claims made by a prospective wind developer. With his usual good attention to detail he elaborated on several good points. I’m repeating some of his comments on just two of these, as they have applicability to all.

1 - Defining and understanding the important “Capacity Value” term (and in comparison to “Capacity Factor” which is a different animal) — — Page 596 — “To understand the concept of Capacity Value, which is the ability to convert prescribed amounts of energy at high rates of power at specified, convenient times, consider a homely example: a chain saw. I use mine only occasionally-- but when I want it to work, and I fuel it properly and prime it right, it performs like a champ on my command, producing its rated capacity, or desired fraction thereof, whenever I want it to. Or consider your automobile. It has a Capacity Factor of perhaps only 20% because you do not choose to drive it all the time. But when you do, it does what you want over 99.99% of the time. This is its Capacity Value.”

“Now consider the situation if the chain saw or automobile were "powered" by the wind, where the Capacity Factor would not be determined by operator choice but rather by the random nature of the wind. Any Capacity Factor from the wind machines would be a highly statistical average between extremes, not a function of operator choice, which is the case with conventional machines. Imagine how you could never be sure whether the machines would start or not--and when they did, how they lurched spontaneously in fits and starts, impossible to control so that they would be productive in any conventional sense of that concept. You simply could not know from one minute to the next how the wind energy would drop back or surge forward. This is what is meant by stating that wind has no Capacity Value.”

2 - Is it more technically correct to say “wind power” or “wind energy” — “Wind does NOT provide power in any modern sense of the meaning of power; it simply provides random, highly desultory energy to the grid. We use precision power today to obtain relatively prodigious amounts of productivity (compared with the early nineteenth century). As I've written many times, there are good reasons we moved beyond wind and horses centuries ago.”

“I haven't used wind and power together for years, because they are antithetical terms when considered for modern electricity production. Rather, I say wind energy. Or wind flutter. But not wind power, unless the latter word is in quotes. Language is important, as the wind suits know. When someone mentions wind power, I move the discussion on to a more functional analog: pixie dust.” ------

4/22/09:

I’m encouraged that there seems to be more and more published articles that are calling into question the unsupported opinion that renewables are a legitimate “part” to any serious energy program, and particularly the validity of wind energy. Of course this is the very position that many on this list have taken for years now. — Page 597 — Please continue to speak up as I am hopeful that reason will eventually prevail. No it won’t be this month, but there are some positive indications that the tide is beginning to turn. Here are just a few examples to savor:

1 - A very reasonable New York Times article stating that there will be no Green Energy revolution <>. The reason this piece makes sense is that they are quoting expert Jesse Ausubel, who has written several excellent articles about our energy future and renewables. If you haven’t read any, here is a very good example <>. ------

2 - The Green Bubbles Bursting (Hudson Institute) criticizes the current US policy about indiscriminately supporting renewable energy <> ------

3 - A fine summary of the case against wind power is at Master Resource <>. This testimony against Ontario bill 150 (an RPS of sorts) is now in document form: <>. ------

4 - “Don’t Warm to This Myth” is a well-phrased voice of reason about the foolishness of blindly supporting renewable energy: <>. ------

5 - “Beware Green Jobs — the New Sub Prime” is the apt title of this expose: <>. ------

Watch this video from 60 Minutes. This alternative (if it works) would replace all need for wind and solar — so this is a VERY big deal. It’s a good sign that mainstream media is publicizing (and in this case, positively) different energy options. One conclusion is to take 25% of the money wasted on wind energy and put it into research of such options: <>. ------

— Page 598 — I have had several requests to get the link for my recent radio interview. Here it is: <> ------

On a light (as in enlightened) note Colette McLean (a staunch common sense energy advocate in Ontario) sent her usual inimitable summary of a lengthy get-together recently held there about a proposed (foolish) Green Energy Act. She has a wonderful way with words and I couldn’t help but smile to read her say in a part of her report:

“Needless to say I was very riled most of the day, and did not contain myself from several loud groans, and shouts of "come on!”. Come on Indeed. ------

4/28/09

I hope to see some of you at my upcoming three energy presentations on my way back to NY starting this weekend: Sunday afternoon (Tazewell VA), Monday evening (Keyser WV) and Tuesday evening (Johnstown PA). ------

Marketing person Eben Thurston has been diligently working up a proposed comprehensive national marketing strategy plan for the anti-wind (pro- science) forces. It is still being refined and I will pass this on soon.

In a similar vein I’m proposing that we adopt a new motto: Scientifically Sound Solutions not Palliative Political Pablum

If you have suggestions for another motto, please forward it on. ------

Quote of the week came from Tom Tanton: “Building a ‘smart grid’ to enable renewables (e.g. wind) is like building a 4G network to enable 386 computers.” ------

Please carefully digest “Bound To Burn”: A GREAT summary of a broad range of related issues — CO2, wind power, green jobs, etc. <>. ------

Also read “Getting Real on Wind & Solar” (originally in the Washington Post) — a good critique of wind energy by two very competent sources: ------

— Page 599 — Accomplished English economist John Kay awhile back wrote an insightful essay about environmentalists, titled “Green Lobby Must Be Treated As A Religion” <>. Please read this CAREFULLY, as the implications here are very significant, as in:

Environmental evangelists are therefore not interested in pragmatic solutions to climate change or technological fixes for it. They are even less interested in evidence that if we were really serious about reducing carbon emissions we could do so by large amounts without significantly affecting our economies or our lives... Every ideology needs rituals of observance which demonstrate the commitment of adherents. ------

PBS NewsHour did an interesting piece about Lithium and Brazil: “Bolivia's Lithium Resources May Prove Hot Commodity” <>.

It’s about the fact that by us blindly going the “renewable” route we will likely be switching dependence from one foreign commodity to another: oil to lithium. Note where Brazil’s president has called Americans “imperialists.” Does that give you a hint where this may be going, or sound much different from Mid-East anti-American rhetoric? ------

I present these materials NOT because I believe that GW is false, but to put some balance into what you hear about.

My position remains the same: the jury is still out on this matter, AND wind power will make only a trivial (and extraordinarily expensive) contribution towards reducing global warming emissions. ------

This is the latest issue of my informal, free collection of recent energy-related developments. For late arrivers, here is a bit of explanation of this “newsletter.”

Since we are daily inundated with material coming out on this topic, I am trying to present a digest summary of the most pertinent applicable information. Anyone presenting such a collection clearly has a bias. Mine are for articles that are: scientific, independent, informative, constructive, and/or well-written.

There is no set time period for these mailings. I just wait until I get a dozen of so items of interest and then send them out.

At this point this goes out to well over a thousand people. If you want off at any time, please let me know. Conversely if you have any open-minded associates who are interested in energy issues, send me their email info, and town they are located in (which is how my list is sorted).

My slogan is: Scientifically Sound Solutions not Palliative Political Pablum ------

My latest article EcoWorld “Is Nuclear Renewable” <>. — Page 601 — As I mentioned before a prime strategy I am advocating now is to: 1 - challenge the arbitrary definition that politicians and “environmentalists” come up with for "renewable" and 2 - assert that Nuclear is a legitimate renewable.

The EcoWorld piece addressed #2. Here again is my article on the first part, (note the AWEA response in the comments): <>.

Coincidentally there were a few hopeful stories this week about federal legislators (including Democrats) advocating that nuclear be included in a national Renewable Energy Standard (RES or RPS). Here is an example: <>. ------

Here is a somewhat long but superb overview of the energy situation, with right-on comments about wind energy “Energy Myths and Realities”: <> ------

Sorry I missed it, but here is a really good article that makes a reasonable attempt to calculate the global cost of saving enough CO2 to affect the planet by ONE (1) degree centigrade <>.

The answer, if using wind power (and making very generous and optimistic assumptions) comes to at least $60 Trillion...

For further perspective, if you are a Hansen/Gore/McKibben advocate, they are saying that we need to make changes to address SEVERAL degrees centigrade — so pick their latest projections and multiply by $60 Trillion... ------

Also in the overlooked category is an important Dutch critique that was updated December 2008. Dr. V. Mason (an English energy expert) has been annually publishing a revised version of the story of wind power in Denmark — the unsanitized version of events. Since Denmark is often cited as an exemplary wind energy success, keeping up with the whole story is beneficial: <>. ------

— Page 602 — One more item from the vault. In my opinion, the assertions found in this prior interview have become prophetic: <>.

I have no idea whether this Soviet person is genuine or not, but certainly much of what he says has a ring of truth to it — particularly regarding the energy business. For instance, he says that their main effort is to brainwash students and academics so that they endorse foolish policies that will bankrupt our economy. Does wind power sound like it might fit that bill?

The people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.

To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society. ------

If it does come about (money is always a question), my hope would be to utilize several other independent experts. ------

5/21/09 Friends:

There are quite a few articles coming out about the foolishness of the proposed national RPS/RES (e.g. Markey-Waxman).

Along that line I am advocating to:

— Page 606 — 1 - challenge the arbitrary definition these people come up with for "renewable" and 2 - assert that Nuclear is a legitimate renewable.

This is significantly important, as with such a determination, state’s will be able to substitute nuclear for wind power to satisfy the likely national RPS.

Here again is my article on the first one: <>.

This article points out an astounding electrical energy economic fact in NYS (and several other areas)...... This has a profound effect on the wind power business, and offers further evidence why this is so lucrative.

With all massive subsidies and low fuel costs, wind power producers can afford to bid in at a low cost (e.g. $10/MWH). Yet because of how the NYISO system has been arbitrarily set up, they actually get paid maybe $50/MWH (the price of the highest accepted bidder).

<> ------

Although some of the comments in this article are silly, the wind related remarks are spot-on. Professor Jack Steinberger, a Nobel prize-winning director of the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva, said that wind represented an illusory technology — a cul-de-sac that would prove uneconomic and a waste of resources in the battle against climate change. “Wind is not the future,” he told the symposium of Nobel laureates at the

There are MANY victories that local communities are having against wind projects, every week. It would take up too much space to report them all, but here is just a sample this time...

The Wind Committee of a NY town (Clayton, on the scenic St Lawrence River) advocates strict setbacks — so much so that the developer said that the project is not now doable. "We looked at this long and hard," Dr. John W. Jepma said. "We were charged with looking at science, not emotion. I wouldn't change any of our recommendations." <>

Scottish Ministers’ Reporter Michael Shiel has now released his findings: “In the particular circumstances of this case, I find that the small contribution that this wind farm would make to Scottish and UK renewable targets does not outweigh its significant adverse local impact.” <>

See our report on the very important 6/16/09 NYSERDA meeting. Note: This is an updated version from the one originally sent out. Please use this latest version (revision 6/21/09) for all references.

Almost all NYS newspapers were sent this report, with a request that they do some investigation and write some editorials. We’ll see. ------

At the NYSERDA event they proudly referenced a newly released National Academy of Sciences report on “Electricity from Renewables,” which appears to say that wind power is a good thing. All of us are sure to hear more about this in the future.

What you should know is this: NAS reports are generated by a committee that is chaired by an individual. That person has the prime authority to pick who the co-authors are. The entire integrity of the process begins (and sometimes ends) there. It is an easy matter for that chairperson to make up the majority — Page 611 — of the committee with like-minded associates, and to then create a report to justify pre-conceived political opinions.

Even if they reach out to persons with other beliefs, they are under no obligation to incorporate these other inputs in anything but a superficial manner. Further, the report reader, of course, has no idea as to what criticisms were received from other independent experts, as these are not fully conveyed.

A key co-author of this NAS report is Jeff Peterson — who is the head technical person at NYSERDA. Jeff Peterson is the person who told me: "No scientific data is needed to prove that wind power works, because it has been around for thousands of years." That should give you a very clear idea of his “thinking.”

If you have any doubt about how the majority of the other NAS co-authors are of a similar mindset, just look at how frequently they site the AWEA (DOE) “20% by 2030” document. That piece of works is one of the all time great examples of “Public Relations masquerading as science” publications. The fact that they cite this as some “evidence” is akin to citing an Aesop fable as the basis for making a technical conclusion.

So what we had at the NYSERDA meeting was wind power industry shills trying to “prove” that wind power is scientifically sound — by referencing their own fabricated propaganda.

This is called circular reasoning. ------

I haven’t had the time to write about another abomination: the “Cap and Trade” proposals. Until I do, please refer to these sample cartoons that do an adequate job of describing the foolishness and some of the consequences. <> ------

The title says it all: “Mafia Link to Sicily Wind Farms Probed” <>. What a surprise: corruption with wind development! ------

Still another unintended negative consequence is getting more acknowledgment. The National Weather Service writes “Wind Farm

— Page 612 — Interference Showing Up on Doppler Radar” <> ------

When it comes to local control of industrial wind projects, the specifics of the local zoning rules become quite important. The more general question of whether or not zoning is a good idea or not, sometimes comes up in these discussions.

The main argument used against zoning is that it amounts to a “taking” of someone’s rights. I don’t ascribe to that theory, and recommend that you read this excellent article discussing this issue, written by Cumberland (Maryland) Planner, Dave Umling: <>.

THESE ARE MUST READS!

George Will has written a simply superb piece about the foolishness of the “Green Bubble” <>. And then there is this excellent insight <>.

The article he references, “The Green Bubble” gives a good perspective of the politics of this fanatical agenda: <>. Remember that this is written by two very active environmentalists (<>).

These both are very much an endorsement of our basic position: decisions are not being made based on sound science, but rather political agendas. ------

This is a correction about Committee selection for National Academy reports that I stated in my last newsletter. Despite what I personally experienced, I have been assured by NRC higher-ups that this is typically not the case . The normal process is spelled out here: <>. (Yes I know the pages appear in the wrong order. I told them about this, and se=nt them a corrected version. We’ll see how long it takes them to fix this.)

I am willing to accept that my two cases were aberrations. ------

What is of more concern though (and the real thrust of my prior message) is how they are going to deal with the frontal assault they are under from lobbyists like AWEA. Due to its good standing in the scientific and political community, the Academies have been targeted by profiteers to become yet another outlet for promotion of their financial interests.

I had an interesting exchange with a head person at the Academies’. My concerns were these questions to him:

1 - What’s more important to the Academies: scientific methodology or “consensus science”? 2 - What’s more important to the Academies: the Result or the Process? 3 - What’s more important to the Academies: Transparency or Confidentiality? 4 - Does a committee member whose employment is directly connected to the results of their report have a conflict of interest or a bias?

In each of the above, my belief is that the former (red) choice is the proper one. What they seemed to be saying to me was that (in effect) they favored the latter (blue) choice.

I find this very disturbing, and hope that this lengthy correspondence I had with them might provoke a re-examination.

I’ll report on this more later. ------— Page 614 — Another followup regarding our NYSERDA report in the last issue. At the meeting they went to great lengths to convey the impression that they are only a lowly peon on the NYS bureaucratic chain, and their main function is to fulfill political directives made by others.

We know that this is absolutely NOT the case, as NYSERDA is intimately involved in creating and endorsing these political programs.

For example, this week we were sent a PR blurb by another NYS Agency, ORPS (<>). Pertinent to this point they wrote:

“NYSERDA is working with the Governor’s Office on a legislative initiative to extend the (property tax) exemption to qualifying improvements (wind turbines) installed by January 1, 2013.”

As we have said, NYSERDA is the key player coming up with renewable energy programs. ------

The independent (i.e. less political) US government agency EIA (Energy Information Administration) recently put out a report about the costs of various forms of electrical energy. Here is a discussion about it <>.

On the surface, their information shows that wind power is 30% more than nuclear.

That should be convincing enough, but there’s a LOT more: 1 - this does NOT include any extra state and federal incentives provided to wind energy, 2 - this does NOT include the extra transmission lines required by wind energy, 3 - this does NOT include other ancillary costs required by wind energy (e.g. new computer programs to predict weather, transmission line modifications needed to handle surges, etc.) 4 - this does NOT include costs for decommissioning wind turbines, and 5 - this does NOT take into account that wind energy has essentially zero Capacity Value.

When adding all of these other factors in, the wind energy cost will easily be over 100% higher than nuclear power. ------— Page 615 — Although this report came out in 2008, it has key findings that many may have missed (<>):

"Wind power does not obviate the need for fossil fuel plants, which will continue to be indispensable.

"The problem is that wind power volatility requires fossil fuel plants to be switched on and off, which damages them and means that even more plants will have to be built. Carbon savings will be less than expected, because cheaper, less efficient plant will be used to support these wind power fluctuations.

"Neither these extra costs nor the increased carbon production are being taken into account in government figures for wind power." ------

Yet another physician warns of the health effects caused by wind turbines <>. ------

Although this article is about the utility costs in England, since we are now pursuing similar policies there will likely be a similar price increase for North Americans. They showed a price increase of almost TEN TIMES, from 2004 to 2019: <>. ------

So the Waxman Markey bill passed in the US House. No surprise there as most dissenters were bought off with perks ot concessions. The bottom line is that is is a VERY expensive measure that does VERY little good. Even Greenpeace and Dr Hansen ended up being against it (although for the wrong reasons).

This now moves to the Senate, where (due to the balance of power) there is a much better possibility that reason will prevail. Read about the renewable energy bill that just came out of the Senate Energy committee <>. ------— Page 616 — MoveOn is taking a poll about what to do with the Cap & Trade bill, now that it is going to the US Senate. they offer two choices: 1) fix its many errors, and 2) scrap it and start over.

The National Climate Data Center (NCDC) provides a rather superficial response to the report. The NCDC response is then critiqued by climate expert Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr.

— Page 620 — Again, the clear messages are that: 1) there are a LOT of scientific holes in the Global Warming assessment process, and 2) the Global Warming advocates have little interest in genuinely discussing or fixing these deficiencies. ------

We are still working with Eben Thursten on a national Marketing Plan. I’ll keep you posted on developments.

The corruption of the National Academies... SIF...

------

After investigating the recently released National Academies of Sciences report on renewable energies, I was simply astounded by the corruption I found in the Academies process. I have had numerous correspondences with top level people there, which only exposed more deficiencies.

Although there are many good people associated with the Academies, it is now quite clear to me that lobbyists have targeted and have now successfully infiltrated this once esteemed organization. Here is my article about NAS, which I will update if there are further developments: <>. ------

Another key article I was inspired to write is an exposé of the very foundation of most of our energy problems: the computer model. — Page 621 — The unfortunate fact is that almost everyone gives these models much more credit than they merit. When models are questioned, it seems like the discussion is only about whether some particular consideration has been addressed. Such commentary is frittering on the fringes, and completely misses the big picture issue.

The more important question is: are computer models capable of translating complex real-world situations (climate change, wind power projections, financial derivatives, etc.) into ones and zeros?

As a scientist who has also been a computer programmer, I say NO. The article explains why.

Our lives have steadily and subtly been taken over by computer programmers. We need to not only recognize the impact of this intrusion, but to object to their false implications of capability.

Let me know if you have any questions: <>. ------

A good question was asked after the last issue: “Since Cap & Trade seemed to work well for Acid Rain, why not give it a chance for CO2?”

Friends:

Earlier today I wrote that the excellent wind power case study that I cited a few issues ago has been updated, and has a new url <>.

There is something bizzare about the link, as it evidently doesn’t want to be reduced by TinyUrl. So skip that one. Here is the full version: <>. ------

As a bonus for the inconvenience, who do you think wrote this:

“The current rush for large scale onshore wind developments, connected by a hugely centralised grid system shows a poverty of imagination and thinking rooted in the early 20th Century. If attention continues to be focused on — Page 626 — increasing renewable energy targets, without any requirement to demonstrate what each development will achieve in greenhouse gas emissions reductions (including all aspects of the generation and transmission), we face a possible worst case scenario, where we achieve renewable energy targets through inappropriate developments and at great cost to important environments - only to discover that our greenhouse gas emissions are up, along with our energy consumption, and our energy supply is not secure.”

Amazingly it is a leading environmental organization, The John Muir Trust <>. ------

We continue working on a national “anti-wind” (pro-science) Marketing Plan, which I believe is of paramount importance.

My request is for any people interested in our energy future who have a public relations background, to please contact me. We need your assistance, as the more insights on this situation, the better!

Also, if you have any friends or acquaintances who have such marketing experience, and would like to volunteer to assist us, please let me know those contacts as well. ------

Here’s a brief update on the National Academies of Sciences matter. I have written the head NAS person a few times now about the fact that their policies have been undermined by lobbyists. I was in hope that he would respond with some indication that he would at least look into the specifics I provided him, but he has not responded to several pleas.

I also asked the director of the suspect renewable energy study to provide me with some basic info (e.g. copies of public comments). He did respond but refused to do comply, saying that everything I asked for was “confidential.” (Compare this to their public position that Transparency is a key ingredient to having quality reports.)

I also tried the NAS Public Access Records office and received the same reply.

So, a few days ago I submitted a formal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the NAS Study director. I also send a FOIA to DOE, who was a partial sponsor of this study.

— Page 627 — I am pursuing this as there is STRONG evidence that there was substantial corruption in the preparation of this important renewable energy study. My thought is to use this as evidence to show how NAS’s supposed fail-safe policies have been purposely and successfully breached. I’ll let you know what happens. ------

Commentary —

I am increasingly becoming more disturbed by the political direction our “leaders” are taking. Two cases in point:

1 - NYS Governor Paterson reportedly now uses Jeff Jones as an environmental advisor. Jeff was a higherup in Environmental Advocates, for quite a few years. Oh, he is also one of the founders of the Weathermen group, and is reportedly responsible for bombings of Government buildings. See this fascinating story <>.

2- US president Obama has now “appointed” (annointed may be a more accurate description) numerous “czars” <>. Unfortunately for us subjects, many of these people are radical agenda promoters. A good example was recently exposed by Glenn Back: self-avowed communist Van Jones is now in charge of “green jobs”. Here is a sample brief background on him: (<>).

I would never have thought that this day would come, but life (i.e. the Big Guy) has a knack of providing some unexpected developments — and this certainly wasn’t planned. If things go according to the current schedule, by December 1st± we may be permanently moving from New York State.

We have agreed to sell our home here (after receiving an unsolicited offer), and now have a contract to purchase another waterfront property in coastal North Carolina (near our long time beach house). Although neither property is anywhere near closed, we wanted to inform you of this development, ASAP.

Let us repeat: neither transaction is finalized, and there are contingencies in both. It may be that nothing happens at all!

As you know we love our Brantingham home and had no intentions to ever move. When this proposal came to us the main reason we considered it is our concern about the burdensome economics, as well as the deplorable politics of NYS. (The latter has caused the former.)

Earlier in the year I wrote an article about the financial situation in NYS that might put that part in perspective <>.

After traveling a lot — including visiting all 50 states — our opinion is that NYS has the best natural resources. It’s a shame that such enormous assets can be diminished by such self-serving foolishness.

At this point I have mixed feelings about the succes of my contributions towards NY’s wind energy situation. On the one hand I am gratified by progress made in moving more towards a scientific basis in resisting this scourge, and getting to meet some marvelous, dedicated people. — Page 636 — On the other hand I’m disappointed by the continued focus on NIMBY sounding issues, and the fact that NY communities are not working more together.

I have a second presentation about the latter critical issue, and it awaits citizens who have adopted the scientific message and are then ready to move in that direction.

Today...

I'll never see this day again, the seconds or the hours.

So now's the time to take the time to stop and smell the flowers.

So touch a heart, hold a hand, call that lonely friend.

Don't postpone the love you have, as this day won't come again. ------

Regarding the National Academies of Sciences matter, and the two FOIAs I sent out, I heard from from DOE, saying that they are still working on it. ------

My next (and maybe last) NY Community Energy presentations:

1 - Warsaw, NY area at 6 PM on September 29th. Sponsor Dr. Joe Zampogna (“[email protected]”). 2 - Bath, NY at 7 PM on September 30th, at the Bath Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. Sponsor Jim Arthur (“[email protected]”).

These are free, and open to the public. If you are in either area, please contact the sponsor to offer your support.

I still may be able to do another NY presentation, but I need to know ASAP. ------

I received the following email a few days ago. The site referenced (at Cornell no less) so far seems to be making a real effort at being balanced. Maybe there’s hope:

I have been very impressed with the efforts of the citizens groups that have organized around the wind power investments that are proposed for New York. I saw the report you prepared and thought I would get in touch.

I am building an internet site that I'm hoping will provide some of the information that you have been asking for or, at least, present a forum for critical questions. It’s at: <>

If you look under renewable energy, and then wind power, and then reading and resources, you will see your report.

Some students and I are going to be building the site over the course of the semester. We're hoping to contact you to get your ideas and input.

PS — the following was sent by a friend:

Henry was in the egg fertilization business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

He kept carefuil records, and any rooster not performing adequately went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This monitoring took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

— Page 650 — Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.

Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Henry's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine performing specimen. One morning though he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung in some time.

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. But the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.

To Henry's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, perform his service, and walk on to the next one.

Henry was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the “No Bell Piece” Prize but they also awarded him the “Pulletsurprise” as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?

Vote carefully next year and remember that you can't always hear those bells! ------

Good efforts by citizens often do pay off. A small activist group of Henderson NY residents were successful in getting a wind deveoper to leave town: <>. Kudos to them and the Henderson offficials who listened. ------

From the election results I have seen, it appears that in the majority of towns where wind development is an issue, that the pro-citizen candidates won. Good examples are Hammond, NY (<>) Perry, NY, and Italy, NY.

A very contentious fight in Cape Vincent, NY is still too close to call due to absentee ballots (200±) still being counted <>.

In a related matter, “The Buck Stops Here” is a good editorial by the Watertown Daily Times about the fanatical proponents of such foolishness as wind energy: <>.

In a somewhat related matter, the town of Italy is being sued by wind developers for not allowing them to litter the countryside with basically worthless pre-modern artifacts. Fortunately NYS is a Home-Rule state, so these opportunists have very little chance for legal success. Their real tactic is intimidation. <>. ------

HERE IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY THAT I URGE YOU TO FOLLOWUP ON!

Ed Berry (PhD, atmospheric physicist and certified consulting meteorologist with Climate Physics <>) has challanged Eric Grimsrud (PhD and research scientist who is a global warming activist <>) to a scientific debate on the merits of global warming. Dr. Grimsrud’s acceptance follows:

“I gladly accept Ed Berry's invitation to participate in a scientific discussion of the climate changes we believe are presently occurring. In accordance with Ed's request, I will limit my remarks here entirely to the scientific aspects of climate change (in which I am a recognized expert) and will not venture into other aspects of climate change (in which I have opinions like everyone else, but I am not an expert), such as economic and societal consequences.” - Eric

Dr. Grimsrud will argue that human-emissions of carbon dioxide are causing significant climate change. Dr. Berry will argue the opposite. They have each committed to show you as completely as possible the scientific cases for and against global warming.

For more information about this event, see <> (scroll down to "The Debate Is On").

This could be a MAJOR development. The computer where some key Global Warming proponents kept their documents and correspondences, has been hacked. The hacker obtained and made public some 60 MB of materials. See <> and <>. The materials are still being analyzed, but it gives an unprecedented look at some of the inner workings (and attitides) of major global warming advocates.

ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION --From a teacher in the Nashville area

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year... The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president.

— Page 661 — We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had several good ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down. Now is was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was short and sweet. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream" and then she sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." I thought that she surely would say more. She didn’t have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten.. Olivia won by a landslide. Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like my class of nine year olds: they want ice cream. The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone -- that they have not first taken away from someone else......

My most fundamental position regarding the energy and environmental issues that we are facing, is that they should be resolved in a scientific manner. Specifically this means using what is called the Scientific Method. For a refresher on this critically important concept, please see this good writeup. ------

A simply wonderful article “'Climategate' simply won't stop greens”. ------— Page 662 — “Blown Away” is a good commentary on the economics of the wind energy business. ------

Another insightful commentary by George Will: “Awash in Fossil Fuels”. ------

An encouraging development about some environmentalists wising up to support nuclear energy. ------

“Environmentalism's Big Lie: Renewable Energy” is a very good overview of the environmental movement and renewable energy. Oh yes, it was written in 2001. ------

For those interested in some of the “studies” put forward by wind promoters about the effects wind projects have on residential real estate values, this is an excellent editorial putting these in their proper light. Make sure to look at a more detailed critique of the biased Hoen report. ------

An interesting article about Fusion, which would end wind energy once and for all. ------

A revealing perspective on Denmark. ------

I had a suspicion that this would be on us soon. When the current offerings of lower taxes, etc. don’t sufficiently undermine wind project resistance, the solution is simply to increase the bribes. ------

Alarmist Dr. Hansen makes some extremely critical comments about proposed Cap & Trade legislation, so we can certainly agree on something . ------

The Putting Some Balance To It Department — As I reported in my last newsletter, the hacked emails and documents between some key global warming proponents are being carefully examined by many people. Hundreds of articles have appeared about what has been dubbed “Climategate”. One of the better summaries is here. — Page 663 — ... And another stating that these scientists are criminals. ... And another superior assessment. ...And a very good overview. ...And another good perspective. Although it is unattributed, “The Day Global Warming Stood Still” is an insightful read. This Master resource article is thoughtful, although rather presumptuous. I mention it as the exchange after it is the most worthwhile part. In another stunning admission of the non-scientificness of AGW “Climate Change Data Dumped”.

The Community Service Department — This article about problems with drywall could apply to almost anyone. ------12/3/09

This is different — an article written by a wind developer, complaining about the dishonest tactics used by other wind developers! He also goes on about how ridiculously high cost wind energy is. ------“Denmark Rife with CO2 Fraud” who would have thunk? “Leading US Science Groups Endorsed the Global Warming Fraud” is a good recounting of the shameful, unscientific behavior of those purporting to be scientists. “Liar, Liar: The World's Not on Fire”. “UN Halts Funds to China Wind Farms” <<>>. ------
