Wind turbines generate nothing from gentle breezes and must shut down in gales. Both solar panels and wind turbines are old technologies and now close to collecting the maximum energy from a given land area of wind and sun, so limited technology gains are possible. Secondly, green energy is dilute so the collection area must be huge.
Wind and solar will always be prone to blackouts for three reasons.įirstly they are intermittent, producing zero power when winds drops or sunlight fails. All supposed to solve a global warming crisis that exists only in academic computer models.Įnergy policy should be driven by proven reliability, efficiency and cost, not by green politics. They both created this problem by taxing, banning, delaying or demolishing reliable coal, nuclear, gas or hydro generators while subsidising and promoting unreliable electricity from the sickly green twins – solar and wind. Blades fly off in all directions – panels get smashed like crockery at a Greek wedding, leaving ‘green’ power consumers in the lurch for weeks, if not months.Ĭalifornia leads the way to electricity blackouts, closely followed by South Australia. Of course, windmills and solar panels are prone to violent storms, too. Now a burst of calm and/or cloudy weather will do the job.

Then the portable devices run flat – mobile phones and tablets run out of juice and, should the blackout last more than a couple of hours, the mobile phone network itself runs dead.ĭimly lit romance, soon turns to a “what do we do, next?” form of panic.īefore we started our love affair with wind and solar, it would take a violent (often electrical) storm to deliver mass blackouts. The first few minutes of a mass blackout can be kind of exhilarating the candles come out, adding romance to the evening Uber Eats dining experience and, with TVs inoperable, the potential for a little uninterrupted conversation. Again the value of her flower essences was proven as time and again they effectively helped to calm and treat the animals in the care of the Humane Society of the United States and the Louisiana SPCA.Californians & South Australians know the drill: when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, be sure to have flashlights and diesel generators at the ready.
In 2005, Meg then went to Louisiana and volunteered (eventually to be hired by the Humane Society of the United States) to help care for the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina (and while there also weathered Hurricane Rita). At this time Meg decided to market her products and became BlackWing Farms. Uses of these products were well proven in the wake of the Southern California wildfires of 2003 where her products helped to calm and stabilize traumatized pets and farm animals who were lost, injured, or abandoned during the fast moving blazes. Since that time 25 years ago, Meg has created a wide range of products to help with the mental, physical, and emotional needs of animals. Then she had a revelation in the aftermath of a horrible horseback riding accident when the horse's owner used flower essences on Meg and her horse to great effect.
