By John Droz, Jr. -- April 29, 2019 1 CommentThe Alliance for Wise Energy
Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested
in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies. Our premise
is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science (please
consult WiseEnergy.org for more information).
A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every three
weeks we put together a newsletter to balance what is found in the mainstream media
about energy and the environment. We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance
in publishing this information.

By Vijay Jayaraj -- October 10, 2018 4 Comments“Wind turbines’ poor capacity to provide electricity was exposed last month, when [my home town in southern India] Tamil Nadu faced an unforeseen energy shortage due to a dwindling coal supply. The state had unscheduled power cuts for the first time since 2015.”
“Energy from wind turbines dropped 37 percent this year because of heavy monsoon rains. But heavy monsoon rains are not abnormal! They are blamed simply because they interrupt the turbines. Before the era of wind turbines, the rains were just as severe, but they didn’t interrupt power generation.”
India is coal country with a 76 percent market share for the indigenous fuel. But authorities are pushing uneconomic renewables as part of a green central planning plan.
This tension between economic energy and politically correct energy came into focus with a recent electricity panic in my city located in southern India.…
