The discussion centers on the variability of wind power generation in Crowsnest Pass, emphasizing that while wind energy is inherently inconsistent, it remains a reliable resource despite concerns about climate change. Participants assert that wind speed may actually increase during climate fluctuations, countering fears of reduced wind availability. The presence of variable pitch blades on windmills allows them to maintain efficiency across different wind conditions, ensuring continued energy production.
PREREQUISITESRenewable energy enthusiasts, environmental scientists, wind energy engineers, and policymakers focused on sustainable energy solutions.
"because with gloabl warming maybe wind will not be as often in the future?" The blades on a windmill have a variable pitch and they can spin with the same speed in light or heavy winds. I would think that wind speed would pick up during changes of climate.RebaR said:The wind power that is generated using the wind mills in a wind tunnel like the crowsness pass can't be constant. How can the amount of wind be counted on because with gloabl warming maybe wind will not be as often in the future?
