<p>Japan’s wind power industry installed only 185 megawatts (MW) of<br />
capacity in the year ended in March, 2008, less than half of what it<br />

wind farms.<br />
The stricter guidelines, which stipulate that wind turbines must clear<br />
the same safety regulations that apply to tall buildings, were<br />
introduced last summer following a scandal in 2005 over falsified<br />

Windmills lose blades in high winds		</a></h2>
</p>
<p>The strong winds that buffeted the Tokai and Kanto regions<br />
Tuesday apparently snapped the massive blades of two wind turbines in<br />
Higashi-Izucho, Shizuoka Prefecture, officials of the company that<br />
operates the turbines said.<br />
The site hosts 10 windmills belonging to CEF Izuatagawa Wind Farm Co.,<br />
a subsidiary of Nemuro, Hokkaido-based wind power generation company<br />
Clean Energy Factory Co. Each windmill is 103.5 meters tall, and can<br />
generate 1,500 kilowatts. Turbines No. 4 and No. 5 each . . .</p>

Tighter quake-resistance standards hamper wind-power plans		</a></h2>
</p>
<p> Wind-power companies are complaining that tougher<br />
quake-resistance requirements for buildings have made it difficult or<br />
even impossible to construct facilities for the clean energy.<br />
They also say that if wind turbines remain covered under the revised<br />
Building Standards Law, it would hurt the government’s target for<br />
wind-power generation capacity.<br />
The law now requires windmills that are more than 60 meters tall to<br />
clear the same quake-resistance screening as those for high-rise<br />
buildings.<br />

<p>The German government wants to build up to 30 offshore windfarms<br />
in a bid to meet its renewable energy targets, Transport Minister<br />
Wolfgang Tiefensee said in an interview published Sunday.<br />
Tiefensee told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper that the windfarms would<br />
be built in the Baltic and North seas and said some 2,000 windmills<br />
should soon be producing 11,000 megawatts of electricity.<br />
The government is aiming to obtain “25,000 megawatts of energy from windfarms by 2030″, Tiefensee . . .</p>

<h2>Killing Jobs to Save the Climate</h2>
<p class="spAutorenzeile">By <a href="http://www.manager-magazin.de/" target="_blank">Karsten Stumm</a></p>
<p class="spIntrotext"><strong>The price of European emission<br />
permits is rising so rapidly that German companies are threatening to<br />

<div class="spCredit">DPA</div>
<p>Numerous German companies would relocate abroad if the EU fully implements its carbon trading scheme.</p></div>
</div>
<p>They sat silently through two lectures, but then they couldn&#8217;t<br />
control their anger any longer. The civil servants from the Environment<br />
Ministry, the Environment Agency and the German Emissions Trading<br />
Authority made it sound easy for industry to take up carbon trading. It<br />
was just too much for the managers to tolerate.</p>
<p>&#8220;If that&#8217;s the shape the trading will take, we will simply move our<br />
cement operation to Ukraine,&#8221; a cement factory manager shouted into the<br />
lecture hall. &#8220;Then there won&#8217;t be any trading here, nothing will be<br />
produced here anymore &#8212; the lights will simply go out here.&#8221;</p>
<p>The businessmen&#8217;s anger surprised the emissions-allowance trading<br />
experts. They had invited industry representatives to a relaxed forum<br />
at the Environment Ministry&#8217;s office in Bonn. They wanted to present<br />
international developments in the carbon trading market. However, the<br />
mood in the German business world has soured &#8212; managers no longer have<br />
the stomach for academic lectures. The reason is that emissions<br />
allowances are already burdening some companies that require a lot of<br />
energy for production purposes.</p>
<p>In the last 12 months alone, the price for the right to pump a ton<br />
of carbon into the atmosphere has shot up from €23 ($36.5) to nearly<br />
€30 ($47.6), according to the European Energy Exchange in Leipzig. This<br />
hike of around 30 percent has a direct effect on the electricity<br />
production of power companies.</p>
<p>According to calculations by Point Carbon &#8212; a Norwegian company<br />
that specializes in analyzing global power, gas and carbon markets &#8211;<br />
this price hike would drive up the marginal cost of energy from an old<br />
brown coal power plant by the entire price of carbon. For modern<br />
natural gas power plants, it would increase prices by a third. Energy<br />
company RWE, which is based in the German city of Essen, reckons it<br />
alone will have to pay €9 billion ($14.2 billion) for its own<br />
electricity production, which it, of course, will pass on in higher<br />
electricity prices. So carbon trading will have a direct impact on<br />
which countries firms chose to locate in.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the cement industry is gradually pulled into the trading of<br />
carbon emission allowances, companies will move production to countries<br />
that don&#8217;t take part in the scheme,&#8221; Andreas Kern, President of the<br />
German Cement Industry Federation, has warned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><em>The following is the text of Al Gore’s major energy policy speech given on Thursday, July 17th, 2008.</em></p>
<p>There are times in the history of our nation when our very way of life depends upon dispelling illusions and awakening to the challenge of a present danger. In such moments, we are called upon to move quickly and boldly to shake off complacency, throw aside old habits and rise, clear-eyed and alert, to the necessity of big changes.<br />
Those who, for whatever reason, refuse to do their part must either be<br />
persuaded to join the effort or asked to step aside. This is such a<br />
moment.</p>
<p>The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk. And even more - if more should be required - the future of human civilization is at stake. I don’t remember a time in our country when so many things seemed to be going so wrong simultaneously. Our economy is in terrible shape and getting worse, gasoline prices are increasing dramatically, and so are electricity rates. Jobs are being outsourced. Home mortgages are in trouble. Banks, automobile companies and other institutions we depend upon are under growing pressure. Distinguished senior business leaders are telling us that this is just the beginning unless we find the courage to make some major changes quickly.</p>
<p>The climate crisis, in particular, is getting a lot worse - much more quickly than predicted. Scientists with access to data from Navy submarines traversing underneath the North polar ice cap have warned that there is now a 75 percent chance that within five years the entire ice cap will completely disappear during the summer months. This will further increase the melting pressure on Greenland. According to experts, the Jakobshavn glacier, one of Greenland’s largest, is moving at a faster rate than ever before, losing 20 million tons of ice every day, equivalent to the amount of water used every year by the residents of New York City.</p>
<p>Two major studies from military intelligence experts have warned our</p>
<p>leaders about the dangerous national security implications of the climate crisis, including the possibility of hundreds of millions of climate refugees destabilizing nations around the world. Just two days ago, 27 senior statesmen and retired military leaders warned of thenational security threat from an “energy tsunami” that would be triggered by a loss of our access to foreign oil.</p>

<p> <!-- // .module-subheader --></p>
<p class="intro"><strong>I<br />
DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the<br />
Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the<br />
carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia&#8217;s compliance<br />
with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector.</strong></p>
<p>FullCAM<br />
models carbon flows in plants, mulch, debris, soils and agricultural<br />
products, using inputs such as climate data, plant physiology and<br />
satellite data. I&#8217;ve been following the global warming debate closely<br />
for years. </p>
<p>When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions<br />
caused global warming seemed pretty good: CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the<br />
old ice core data, no other suspects. </p>
<p>The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain<br />
when it appeared we needed to act quickly? Soon government and the<br />
scientific community were working together and lots of science research<br />
jobs were created. We scientists had political support, the ear of<br />
government, big budgets, and we felt fairly important and useful (well,<br />
I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet. </p>
<p>The world has spent $50 billion on global warming since 1990, and we<br />
have not found any actual evidence that carbon emissions cause global<br />
warming. Evidence consists of observations made by someone at some time<br />
that supports the idea that carbon emissions cause global warming.<br />
Computer models and theoretical calculations are not evidence, they are<br />
just theory. </p>
<p>What is going to happen over the next decade as global temperatures<br />
continue not to rise? The Labor Government is about to deliberately<br />
wreck the economy in order to reduce carbon emissions. If the reasons<br />
later turn out to be bogus, the electorate is not going to re-elect a<br />
Labor government for a long time. When it comes to light that the<br />
carbon scare was known to be bogus in 2008, the ALP is going to be<br />
regarded as criminally negligent or ideologically stupid for not having<br />
seen through it. And if the Liberals support the general thrust of<br />
their actions, they will be seen likewise. </p>
<p>The onus should be on those who want to change things to provide<br />
evidence for why the changes are necessary. The Australian public is<br />
eventually going to have to be told the evidence anyway, so it might as<br />
well be told before wrecking the economy. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><i>Editor:<br />News and links from The Global Warming Hoax - June 2nd to July12<br />Rap your mind around the global warming scam.</i></p>
<p>The official position of the World Natural Health Organization in regards to global warming is that there is <b><u>NO GLOBAL WARMING</u>!</b><br />
Global warming is nothing more than just another hoax, just like Y2K<br />
and the global freezing claims in the 1960&#8217;s and 70&#8217;s were. Global<br />
warming is being used to generate fear and panic. Those behind this<br />
movement are using it to control people&#8217;s lives and for financial gain.
<p>
There are not a lot of individuals, groups, or organizations willing to<br />
stand up against this fraud that is being perpetuated for fear of being<br />
persecuted, harassed, and ostracized by those that support global<br />
warming the scientific and other communities. But fortunately, a few<br />
have decided to do the right this and take a stand against this evil,<br />
proving just how unscientifically sounded global warming is and<br />
exposing those who are behind it. Below, you will find links to<br />
information and articles showing the <u>proof</u> that global warming is nothing more than just a bunch of hot air (pun intended).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Editor:</p>
<p>Let me start by saying, I’m no fan of Mr.Harper.</p>
<p>Both Harper and Dion are TRAITORS.</p>
<p>Dion wants Canada to be ruled by the unelected officials at the UN</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Harper wants to integrate us  with the US and Mexico.</p>
<p>Either way Canada will no longer call the shots concerning it’s future.</p>
<p>Dion and Suzuki keep screaming about “EVIL CO2″.</p>
<p>They, along with the wind industry keep telling us we should be more like Denmark and Germany.</p>
<p>Why? It’s not because of their low CO2 emissions.</p>
<p>Why is India<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:x-small;"><strong> Electricity - production by source:</strong></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>fossil fuel:</em> 81.7% </span><br />
<em>hydro:</em> 14.5%<br />
<em>nuclear:</em> 3.4%<br />
<em>other:</em> 0.3% (2001)</span> and China exempt form Kyoto. Their CO2 emissions are higher than ours.<br />
Do some research.</p>
<p>Denmark<br />
Electricity - production by source:<br />
<span style="color:#ff0000;">fossil fuel: 82.7%</span><br />
hydro: 0.1%<br />
nuclear: 0%<br />
other: 17.3% (2001)<br />
(They have been using wind since the 70’s)</p>
<p>Germany<br />
Electricity - production by source:<br />
<span style="color:#ff0000;">fossil fuel: 61.8%</span><br />
hydro: 4.2%<br />
nuclear: 29.9%<br />
other: 4.1% (2001)<br />
(We are told that Germany has more wind energy than anyone,yet Germany is in the process of building 20+ new coal plants)</p>
<p>Canada<br />
Electricity - production by source:<br />
<span style="color:#ff0000;">fossil fuel: 28%</span><br />
hydro: 57.9%<br />
nuclear: 12.9%<br />
other: 1.3% (2001)</p>
<p>Looks to me that the rest of the world should be following Canada.</p>
<p>We are told we need to follow the examples of Denmark and Germany. Why?<br />
Even if they managed to cut their emissions from fossil fuel by 50% they would still have higher emissions than us.</p>
<p>We need to recall our elected officials today and demand an explanation.</p>
<p>Ontario could have put the scrubbers on the coal plants and built a new nuke for about 10 billion- according to the senior policy adviser for the ministry of energy.<br />
Instead we are spending between 60 and 70 billion on a faulty dream.</p>
<p>No money for health, education or agriculture.<br />
There is no excuse for the massive fraud taking place in this country.</p>
<p>Read Agenda 21 and Cloak of Green both found here</p>
<p>Have some fun - Google Enron,Al Gore,Maurice Strong and Bill Clinton.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><em>Editor:<br />
As happy as I am to see this article show up in a &#8220;Mainstream Canadian Newspaper&#8221;, I still have to ask-why has it taken so long to expose the scam that is the wind industry?<br />
Hell, Enron started this scam years ago. Google- Enron, Al Gore, Maurice Strong and Bill Clinton. Like the media never noticed what was going on.</em></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;ve noticed the Globe and Mail reading my blog lately &#8217;site tracker&#8217; and that&#8217;s good. But, why does it take so long to get a story out. People have been sending the mainstream papers this same information for years. Why have they remained silent for so long? </em></p>
<p><em>Billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted, landscapes ruined and peoples lives destroyed, while the media sat on the information.<br />
I called the head office of CanWea two years ago this coming Nov. I told them the wind scam would be shut down within two years. I still believe it is possible.<br />
It&#8217;s time for journalists to shake the cobwebs from their brains, remember the journalistic oath and get back to doing what they are supposed to do- inform the public of the truth.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Leave the lies and bullshit to the politicians and industry.<br />
As J. Lennon said &#8220;Just give me the truth&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Anyway, I thank Mr. Reynolds for this story. Good work-even if it&#8217;s years late.</em></p>
<p>NEIL REYNOLDS</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080711.RREYNOLDS11/TPStory/TPBusiness/?page=rss&amp;id=GAM.20080711.RREYNOLDS11">Globe and Mail</a></p>
<p>OTTAWA<!-- /dateline --> &#8212; Republican presidential candidate<br />
Senator John McCain travelled to Oregon in mid-May to deliver the<br />
definitive climate change speech of his campaign. He spoke in Portland,<br />
at the U.S. headquarters of Vestas Wind Systems AS, a Danish company<br />
that markets wind turbines around the world. He started on a<br />
self-deprecating note. &#8220;Today is a kind of test run for this company,&#8221;<br />
he said. &#8220;They&#8217;ve got wind technicians here, wind studies and all these<br />
wind turbines. But there&#8217;s no wind. So now I know why they asked me to<br />
come and give a speech.&#8221;<!-- /Summary --></p>
<p>It was perhaps his most perceptive statement of the day. Five<br />
sentences later, Mr. McCain made perhaps his least perceptive. &#8220;Wind,&#8221;<br />
he said, &#8220;is a predictable source of energy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Really? Define predictable. Wind turbines operate occasionally with<br />
remarkable efficiency at 100 per cent capacity. More often, they<br />
operate with 20 per cent capacity. Once in a while, they operate with<br />
subzero capacity - taking electricity from the grid to keep themselves<br />
running until they get hit again by a restless wind.</p>
<p>British energy consultant Hugh Sharman, based in Denmark, documented<br />
wind power&#8217;s capacity for subzero performance in a report published by<br />
Civil Engineering magazine in 2005. With more wind power per capita<br />
than any other country, Denmark (population 5.4 million) is the world&#8217;s<br />
showroom nation for this highly fashionable form of renewable energy.</p>
<p>Why, then, does Denmark export almost all of its wind power - at a<br />
revenue loss? Why, then, does Denmark still operate all of its<br />
conventional coal-fired power plants? In a phrase, Mr. Sharman says,<br />
the reason is Denmark&#8217;s &#8220;wildly fluctuating wind power.&#8221;</p>
<p>It turns out that Denmark&#8217;s vast array of turbines often produce<br />
minimal electricity when demand is high, maximum electricity when<br />
demand is low. Basing his analysis on data from a single year (2002),<br />
Mr. Sharman reported that wind power produced less than 1 per cent of<br />
the country&#8217;s electricity supply on 54 different days. On one of these<br />
54 days, the wind turbines took more power from the grid than they<br />
produced. (Wind turbines consume considerable electricity whether winds<br />
are blowing or not blowing.)</p>
<p>British author and energy analyst Tony Lodge makes the same point in<br />
a report by the Centre for Policy Studies, a London think tank. &#8220;Not a<br />
single conventional power plant has been closed in the period that<br />
Danish wind farms have been developed,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Because of the<br />
intermittency and variability of the wind, conventional power plants<br />
have had to be kept running at full capacity to meet the actual demand<br />
for electricity and to provide backup.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr. Lodge says it is not practical to turn coal-fired plants off and<br />
on as winds rise and fall - because ramping them up consumes more fuel<br />
(and emits more carbon dioxide) than running them at a constant rate.<br />
Thus Denmark relies almost exclusively on coal-fired plants for its own<br />
consumption and exports its wind power at whatever off-peak price it<br />
can get.</p>
<p>Only 3.3 per cent of Denmark&#8217;s wind power gets &#8220;accepted&#8221; on the<br />
grid for domestic consumption. In 2003, Denmark exported 84 per cent of<br />
its wind-generated electricity at money-losing rates. And CO{-2}? In<br />
2006, Denmark produced 36 per cent more carbon emissions than the year<br />
before.</p>
<p>Messrs. McCain, Dion and Pickens notwithstanding, winds do not blow<br />
predictably. Without an energy storage battery the size of Mount<br />
Everest, most wind-powered electricity will be wasted and will almost<br />
certainly increase a country&#8217;s carbon emissions - albeit inadvertently.<br />
When your power plant operates at only 20 per cent capacity (or less),<br />
you have to build four or five times as many plants as you need. For<br />
reliable backup, you still need either coal, gas or nuclear power - all<br />
of which are cheaper than wind.</p>
<p>The conclusion seems self-evident. Apparently it isn&#8217;t. Fortunately,<br />
you can test wind power for yourself. Go outside on a hot and humid<br />
day. Feel the breeze. Or don&#8217;t</p>
