Had a nice short chat with a gentleman I had sold portions of a trailer to couple three years ago. Renewable energy; micro wind turbines, that sort of profession he was in. I gather there’s a war going on between distributed energy such as wind turbines on your home and the larger ones, which are really just facades to a bigger complex, I feel.
Any case I gleaned a lot in our short talk. Too many people would be out of work if we actually solved forest fires, a discussion he had heard about or had with a big wig in forestry which later was found to check out with the way I sees it.
But the meat and potatoes of our talk was the big turbines, and whether I could convert my RV into a solar panel using trailer parts as a frame. Bingo the latter, and the former it is up for further discussion whether they do us any good beside smaller and more reliable distributed energy.
My neighbor in one place or the other, next door, has a son in law who works the turbines. And we talked about the brown outs in Chyenne, something to do with the huge bursts of wind I am still convinced.
Still another discussion or subject of discussion with a third gentleman is the base. Apparently, the turbines cause a huge problem for radar and logistics. Planes flying around bouncing around their pings and now we have these giant spinning obstructions that can’t be buried well in the dump.
Dump. Dump. Humpty dumpty had a great data center. Humpty dumpty’s data centers got too big.
Nikola Tesla knew about the problems of energy consumption growing faster than an infinite scaling of the harvesting of energy. The latter must give and he concluded that, if I recall.
Conservationism, conservationism is the only way to balance the equation. I think that means our complex model needs to go.
