The Rise Of Wind Power In The U.S.
In the past decade, wind power capacity has tripled, and it’s projected to double in the decades to come. Wind is now America’s top renewable source of electricity generation, and the domestic offshore industry is finally taking off, as major manufacturers debut ever larger and more powerful turbines. While the industry faces some challenges with permitting, public opposition from various interest groups, and the obvious intermittency issues, there’s no doubt that wind is poised to play a major role in the energy transition. The question is just how fast it will grow.

The Rise Of Wind Power In The U.S.
source
Unstoppable demand for AI is leading to a capacity crunch on factory lines at the world’s leading chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor. And it could put a chokehold on AI’s ability to scale. Analysts tell CNBC that Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, AMD and others are locked in an “extremely fierce” competition to get their GPUs, CPUs and custom AI chips made at TSMC. Capacity can’t come online fast enough, despite TSMC’s rush to build new fabs in Taiwan, Japan and Arizona, where has expanded investment to $265 billion. The strain has made one man at TSMC “the most popular person on the planet,” as chip start-ups and big name CEOs visit Taiwan to ask him for wafer allocation. It’s also created a rich opportunity for Intel, as customers look to the long-struggling foundry arm of the U.S. chip manufacturer for a second source.

Billions of dollars have been raised for this year’s midterms elections, with a significant portion coming from big name tech billionaires in the cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and online gambling sectors. Megadonors’ contributions are overwhelmingly behind Republicans in the 2026 midterm election, with 14 of the 20 largest donor groups exclusively or nearly exclusively backing GOP candidates or outside groups. CNBC’s Luke Fountain reports.

Hi all just a message just posted this on some windfarm sites thought it was worth adding to this page So.
If you grind up old wind farm blades both glass and carbonfiber and add then to wet concrete at the batching plant i can see a real risk issue can you? ,,,,, Well its 30yrs later and the slab is to be crushed up for the new development to get made what happens with the rubble ? and more worryingly the dust. We have seen this before with a product that was loved in its day and ended killing thousands it to was mixed into concrete as sheets got were i am going yet NO ASBESTOSIS disease a man made issue rearing its head again will we ever learn from the past?

THE TIME FOR WIND AND SOLAR IS CLOSING
As of today Green energy is in real jeopardy of loosing its credibility.
The public are becoming aware of the issues of having landfill made of green technology waist Wind farm blades today being cut up and placed in landfill Or Even worst ground up and added to wet concrete and solar is no better than wind for recycling.
Now other ideas are growing but are they good? Pump hydro requires 40% more power than is returned so the power bill rises.
Now i am not saying make more dams before those that know my tech far from it Just Make It More Efficient… My system is retrofittable to water and hydro dams to make more power from the same current flow rate. Now let me add 100yrs life and dam near 100% recyclable

December 31, 2023 at 8:12 pm
Ok basics solar panels at best 60% cyclable & 15yr life wind well only one place in USA to recycle the blades by shredding them into a concrete mix so still at 60% blades about 20yrs now pump hydro 40% loss as that is 40% more power needed to lift the water than is gained as it falls to the turbines ALL MAKE LESS POWER THAN WAS USED TO MAKE THEM FROM OUT OF THE GROUND TO THE GRID BEING CHARGED The only winner is hydroelectricity at a life of 100plus years and now can be fitted with three banks of turbines & 98% recyclable

What are the environmental and climate impacts of extracting gigawatts of energy from seasonal and onshore winds that create our weather. Without the mythical & elusive energy storage. When the sun goes down and the wind abates we still need conventional generation large enough to carry the entire load or it is lights out.

clean energy clean water The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution.

I am pro decarbonizing hence I am pro nuclear power. NP is the gold standard of clean energy. It’s as clean and safe as any alternative, requires a fraction of the resources and produces clean, reliable energy 24/7/365. NP really is the premier example of dematerialization in which we actually use less to produce more.
And we certainly don't add intermittent power sources in order to harden our increasingly fragile energy infrastructure.

****We can all see the problems. We must come up with solutions. Wind and Solar power are too unreliable
The experts are not always right and often come up with results that suit those who are paying for the research. Carbon-neutral Thorium molten salt reactors have been around for 70 odd years but President Nixon closed it down in favour of a standard reactor to get votes in California. Not a rational decision. The Thorium molten salt reactor is far safer with minimal waste and can be used to run desalination plants. These could close down all the coal-fired power plants in the world. These reactors can easily be scaled down and easily shut down and started up again. We need to get over the phobia of past nuclear incidents which were caused by human error (Chernobyl)and poor design (Fukishima: Cooling pumps and cooling water supply should not have been at the mercy of a sunami, especially in Japan)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vQW8Tl_KLc
