4. This is highly misleading, since the use of wind energy relies completely on access...

...to dangerous fossil fuels, notably dangerous natural gas.

Right now, both Germany and Denmark are burning coal, even though Denmark is an offshore oil and gas drilling hellhole.

As of this writing, the carbon intensity of Germany, a country that has been sending billions upon billions of Euros to Putin because it replaced its clean infrastructure with wind energy, is 481 g CO2/kwh. Electricity Map, Germany (3/9/22, 7:01 AM Berlin time).



Similarly, this is true of Denmark, which as of 7:12AM Copenhagen time has a carbon intensity of 338 g CO2/kwh.



In fact, the reason that the wind industry has proved useless in addressing climate change is its dependence on dangerous fossil fuels.

French electricity, by contrast with these two highly dangerous fossil fuel dependent countries, Denmark and Germany, has as of this writing a carbon intensity of 94 g CO2/kwh.

Vaclav Smil said it best about the lie that wind energy industry is sustainable:

Vaclav Smil: What I See When I See A Wind Turbine.



I love Ms. Midler, in general, but like most entertainers she has at best, a very low level understanding of energy.

Denmark and Germany have the highest electricity prices in the OECD. This effects the poorest in either country.

The longer we make excuses for the fact that wind and solar have, at the expense of trillions of dollars, not even counting the money sent to Putin, the longer we will screw all future generations with climate change.

Facts matter.
