The Osage's want the wind farms gone because they couldn't get any dividends from them to replace their lost revenues from the now virtually nonexistent oil production. Mineral rights have absolutely nothing to do with air. The Osage tribe isn't entitled to any money from Enel.
Long term storage batteries have two big problems, first, if you are storing the energy long term then you can't sell it, and if you don't sell it then you can't make a profit! Short term batteries can sell every peak usage period, they make a profit twice a day, and even if we have plenty of electricity, they are still useful for reducing the required transmission capacity. Second, it is cheaper to build extra offshore wind turbines to supply the same amount of electricity as the storage could provide, but that has the advantage that they also produce electricity at other times, and that electricity can also be sold, maybe only be sold cheaply for hydrogen production, but it can be sold. As the number of wind turbines increases, and we start to use vast amounts for synthetic fuel production, we will start to have enough wind power nearly all the time, and eventually at all times, and the long term storage will become longer and longer term storage, increasingly less profitable, until eventually it will be completely unused. The cheap very long term storage will end up being synthetic liquid fuels, which we normally use for other things, so have anyway, and which only require a cheap basic gas turbine generator to turn them back into electricity, very occasionally when a dunkelflaute occurs.
I'm a regular listener to the show and I usually think you're doing a good job of putting forward truthful and objective analysis of current happenings in the world of renewables. In this episode however you've missed a whole lot regarding CBAM. Rosie is closest to have gotten the facts right. - The purpose is to level the playing field so that companies producing within the EU who are subjected to the carbon emissions "taxes" (EU ETS - it's a market based trading system, not a "taxation" in the traditional way) aren't in a disadvantage to producers outside of EU who has produced with high emissions without paying any price for those emissions. So far I think you've got it, right? What you're missing is that there isn't a single uniform tariff, as is the case with Chinese EVs (to be correct, in EU different companies are getting different percentage depending on how subsidized they are from the Chinese state, in contrast to US 100% tariffs all over the board). The CBAM tariff will vary according to the embedded emissions. If the importer can show that the product is either produced in a "green" way (low emissions) or has been subjected to carbon taxes in their production country, they will get the corresponding deduction in tariff for entering the EU market. In that way the policy is incentivicing low emissions production wherever it takes place. It's true that the cost of goods, especially massive heavy equipment in steel such as WTGs, are becoming more expensive if their true emissions are accounted for and reflected in the price (thanks to CBAM policy), but that's the case just as much for any industry/sector as for renewables. An oil rig will also become more expensive so renewables is not disadvantaged by these tariffs. As for investor confidence, the issue in Europe is national political uncertainty and risk. Especially the beurocracy, long permittering time lines and inflexible fixed electricity sale prices demanded in auctions are hurting the business cases in Europe, rather than unfair EU import duties/tariffs. In general, Europe is much more open to trade and industrial development in line with where competitive advantages are located. US on the other hand seems to move towards closed borders and "everything US made" with enormous costs to the public. It's no coincidence that US still have inflation problems and they won't go away when everyone is fighting for outrageous wage raises (examplified by +70% in the harbours in recent conflict).
I can add - what has hurt the renewables sector most in recent years is the interest rate hikes led by US FED, which is also a consequence of US fiscal deficits continuing to grow at alarming pace. A Trump victory might lead to a full disaster, where all institutions fall like a Domino and then the prospects are not so bright for US either. 😢
Thanks for the info! Help us better understand CBAM. Tariffs are levied on a product based upon emissions created during manufacture. Naturally, there is a bureaucracy created to submit and verify the accuracy of the emissions. Where do the tariff funds go? Who holds the funds, and how are the funds distributed? Does this system make renewable energy manufacturing easier or more complicated?
@@WeatherGuardLightningTech Raw materials carry a CBAM certificate, when you import them into a new country, you need to check if sufficient carbon tax has been paid to match the carbon tax in the new country, if not then you pay the difference. Not much more to it than that. For some reason, every country has decided to apply a different amount of carbon tax, even within the EU! So this is necessary to level the playing field. Ideally you use carbon free steel, cement, etc., then there is no carbon tax to pay, the taxes are there to push global industry to lower carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. This is a tax, like all taxes it disappears into the government coffers, supposedly resulting in less tax needing to be raised in other ways, so there is no overall cost, other than cost of administration. I think the only difficult problems come in working out the carbon emissions for the raw materials, how much carbon was release in generating the electricity for smelting the aluminium? If it is a Danish aluminium smelter, using electricity from the grid, and some of it was imported electricity from the UK, it was probably mainly wind power, but not all of it. Systems need to be in place to allow the calculations, but it is just an accounting problem with the raw materials and energy. The suggestion in the video was that the taxes will increase prices, but that is not really true, the money doesn't just disappear, in reality it is providing a subsidy to manufacturers using carbon free or low carbon raw materials, and thus to people buying those low carbon products. All countries are going to need to implement CBAM in some form, or stop trading, until we achieve net zero because the carbon taxes have become impossibly high, then it wont be needed any more.
I would think the centrifugal force at the tip of a blade would prevent any gel or fluid like filling from working. Also, the thickness required for such a construction on the leading edge would be a challenge to end with a neutral AEP effect.
Expecting the USA to reach net zero by 2050 now is a bit like now expecting the Boeing Starliner to take crew to the ISS and back by its original target date of 2017! USA needed Denmark/Norway/UK's 20 years experience with offshore wind, and the North Sea's 60 years experience with offshore oil/gas infrastructure. Denmark etc. now knows that they have plenty of better customers, they wont try the USA again at sensible prices. When import taxes start gaining carbon penalties for importing from countries that have failed to achieve net zero, the USA will have to pay the price of the failure over the last few years. There is now insufficient time left to develop the required industry to the required scale in time to build the necessary power generation, whatever the source, while by 2050, other countries will be running on cheap clean wind, with plenty to spare.
Maybe. Europe and North America lack the required capacity to build enough turbines. Even with the expertise clearly in Europe, the rate of build out will be slow.
UK doesn't need many more turbines to reach net zero electricity. In 2012 our electricity was at nearly 600gCO₂/kWh, now it is at 109gCO₂/kWh, we have just closed our last coal powered plant. I see Denmark currently generating at 53gCO₂/kWh, and sending 1.5GW to the UK. Norway runs on hydro so started off near net zero electricity. The EU has the ability to reach net zero electricity even if individual countries don't have enough wind power themselves. Eastern Europe is a different matter, the Russian part is making zero progress! USA uses twice as much electricity per person as EU countries and is missing adequate transmission infrastructure, so they have an enormous and expensive task ahead, and appear to have hardly started! Of course the goal is to reach net zero energy, net zero electricity is just the first step.
Siemens gamesa are in the worst times now, but the worst time brings the best version to the battle. They pooled the best practise and knowledge from different sectors to make a impact in the future market. Yes they may be in low time, however they could show the real character and their expertise in the upcoming months with the resale of modified 4X turbines and new 5X turbines.
Now we almost in September , How about that Boeing , that company went to Sh-t and it’s not because of the employees , maybe the boss should have gave himself a little less of a bonus last year and pay a little more attention to there workers , saying these products suck because we cutting corners , Love how you guys stick up for the company that has purposely played games and lied over and over in every department that things are fixed from there planes to there junk space craft
Those people were probably in shock about what to do …what was sad was the low number people exiting the plane … I wished more people from the back could of ran to the front of the plane - no safe seating on a plane - sometimes the front us the best, sometimes the rear - in the case it was the front, but other accidents, the rear seats are the best choice

When the top coat of paint is damaged the underlying composite structure will eventually acquire water. Water in the radome structure degrades the radar performance and increases the chances for lightning punctures.
a lot of over-educated & underpaid talened, detail-oriented mechanics are currently fixing bicycles. i did it for over ten years. now i make double that in a difft industry with all the same skills in use.

Wind energy is not the future, it’s Nuclear Energy we should be investing our money and resources in. But hey I get payed so keep putting up those wind farms
Some nations will choose nuclear (France) while others will select wind and solar. All energy sources requires skilled workers - and that's a good thing.
Whether is a weapon and the effort to develop more tools to control it is costing billions of dollars. can you tell us to relax...coz its not the fault of you burning Petrol in your car ..it is the gigawatts going into heating layers of atmosphere in jeo engineering harp experiments
Very interesting. But in the discussion, the guest describes deploying the drone after the wind farm is running. Is this technology used for preliminary studies before commissioning? Thanks.
The technology can be used before or after commissioning. Existing farms is where the technology is needed most as Met towers provide limited sets of data. Having wind data across a site once it’s developed is helpful to squeeze out more AEP.
Asfalt and Cement have a very high compression strength. Carbon fiber epoxy has Avery low compression strength. But a high tensile strength. So it will greatly reduce the strength of asfalt and cement!
@WeatherGuardLightningTech Concrete is rated by compression strength. The rebar has tensile strength and gives it rigidity. Putting that compressible waste in the concrete would greatly reduce the strength!
