All I’ve ever said is there is more than one way of looking at the situation, pros and cons, and many interrelated factors, most of which are not even known, especially by the highly-indoctrinated, non-thinking zombies. Like most AWE people for example.
Knowing a bit about wind energy myself, I noticed very early on that it was difficult to convince AWE people that the field they purported to be involved in was in fact “wind energy”. Whew, that was a wakeup call!
Next it was convincing them that the field was already highly refined, the result of thousands of years of evolution of ideas, and many, if not most, of their ideas, stepped backwards thousands of years in the process.
So, in the face of great opposition and censorship, I maintained that none of them really knew what they were doing. 15 years later, there is still no AWE system in regular operation, but still my provision of facts is censored by the true-believer zombies, as though it’s me and truth itself that is “the problem”, which can be “solved” by sweeping it under the rug. Hiding even any discussion of even just the weather in a private place that nobody can find - that is SO chicken-shit, and indicates a real self-doubt, lack of confidence, and desperation, on the part of the mindless zombies.
Arrogantly posturing as the “true experts”, they couldn’t understand that they didn’t know what they were doing in the first place, which was the point where their empty promises could be confidently written off as typical wind newbie nonsense, but that never stopped them from going on with their endless idle talk and threatening demeanor, as though somehow, in the face of their history of nonstop failure to succeed in anything they’ve ever promised, that somehow THEY should be listened to, even though they can’t even understand what they, themselves are doing, let alone a whole world of interrelated factors far beyond their comprehension.
No, they just keep repeating the bumper-sticker-level slogan-based “reasoning” that got them into this mess of wasting their lives away, doing pretty much nothing at all, while scolding the rest of us who may actually be using wind power even just to write our messages on the subject in the first place.
So not only did I try to warn the entire AWE “community” that they were misguided and not destined for success in their stated endeavors from day one, but I also cautioned them that the basis of their new, trendy, impending-catstrophe religion had a history of flipping back and forth over cooling versus warming, but that the same was true of the weather itself - not stable, and always flipping between warming and cooling, and that, technically-speaking, we are long overdue for the next glacial cycle, with the biggest mystery being how we’ve managed to stay this warm for the last 10,000 years, since interglacials, as we are in right now, normally only last about 1000 years.
Having been around when the panic was over cooling and an impending ice-age, at that time I predicted the panic would shift to “warming” after hearing Margaret Thatcher of all people advocating for “carbon taxes”. “Oh boy”, I thought, “such a financial incentive means we’re going into a cycle of panic over warming rather than cooling”, which in fact did happen. So there’s another of my predictions that turned out to be right. Unlike any of yours.
Actually, I don’t think you guys can find any prediction I’ve made that didn’t turn out to be accurate, over several decades and counting. And I can’t think of a single significant prediction or promise made by AWE people that has even come true - can you?
So, given my long experience, another point I’ve been making for several years is that there is a well-entrenched ~30-year half-cycle of panic over warming vs cooling since at least the 1700’s. (That would mean a full cycle of around 60 years.)
Of course, as we know, the zombies cannot believe any such well-understood true facts, and instead fight the truth whenever it threatens to diminish their helpless plight of being wannabe world-savers, without results, but now that the 30 years is passing, and we seem a bit overdue for the return to panic over “cooling”, the signs have been emerging, unnoticed by the zombies, but emerging nonetheless.
Here’s today’s article pointing toward panic over cooling, which says:
“Europe would be hard hit, van Westen said, cooling between 9 and 18 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 10 degrees Celsius) within a century. That’s a huge swing, even compared with the current level of climate change, which is already having impacts.”

And if you read the common-sense comments after the article, they all agree with everything I’ve ever said, which is not weighing in on one side or the other, but simply that there are many unknowns, with two potentially legitimate sides of the story to consider. The comments thusfar read as follows:

So basically the ‘experts’ are saying , “We have no idea what the hell we are talking about.”
Cyclonaut
i’m sure the ‘experts’ will find a way to weave the narrative of CO 2 from fossil fuels being the root cause of this. Oh - and it’s racist as well. … I’m sorry - homophobic as well.
Ilium
So, I suppose the evidence they found from the other times this occurred in prehistoric times were caused by humans using fossil fuels, right?

What is disconcerting is that clearly the tipping point is a precursor of a new ice age and no one mentions that. We know that historically over the last few million years the earth went through cycles where about 80% of the time was an ice age.
The cycles appear to vary between 110-140,000 years.
There was no man made influence in those cycles so independently of the present issues of global warming the earth will sooner or later enter a new ice age. This is far more serious than any warming. It will destroy the bread baskets of Asia, Russia, Europe and North America.
What we really need to research more is if the current CO2 emissions are delaying an ice age, and whether one is imminent.

Meanwhile, we’re increasing being told that the intermittency of wind and solar requires duplicate backup power stations to address that intermittency, as many with common sense have maintained from day-one, and nuclear seems to be the latest favorite.
Only thing is, if you have a nuclear power plant, once running, there is no advantage to running it at less than full capacity, so if you have nuclear backup for, say, windfarms, it kind of makes the windfarm itself unnecessary in the first place - not so great for the story of wind energy as an industry, going into the future.
I’ve tried to tell the unwashed wannabe wind energy newbies about “fads” and “fashion” in such debates and discourse over the years, and how accepted “science” is not always real science, but often politics and profit over facts, but of course the indoctrinated zombies cannot accept the information that they are in fact indoctrinated zombies, any more than wannabe wind energy experts can be convinced that their 3000-year-old “new ideas” were in fact obsolete before the Roman Empire even got started. There is no stopping ignorance in this world, which is why the rich keep getting richer, and the zombies keep lecturing everyone, while remaining ineffective and staying poor.
