A short story of wind and steam
Visitor Publish by Ed Zuiderwijk,
A few 12 months in the past I learn in a Dutch nationwide newspaper an article which elaborately and considerably aggressively argued that when you had the selection between, say, a 1000MW gas-fired energy plant and some hundreds windmill mills the latter was the way in which to go. It was filled with the phoney arguments and damaged reasoning well-known to readers of this weblog, and was, in fact, palpable nonsense. I had a very good giggle about it; you’ll be able to’t argue with purveyors of foolishness and, moreover, when you already know one thing is totally improper it’s normally utterly uninteresting to exactly analyse why. I had virtually forgotten about it when some dialog with buddies introduced it again to my consideration and made me query (myself) why it was that I knew with such whole readability that the argument put ahead in that article was piffle provided that I do know not far more in depth concerning the topic than your common knowledgeable layman. After some reflection I realised that it was due to one thing I used to be taught a few years in the past in school. That’s what this posting is about.
