So, yesterday in the news I saw the latest catchphrase being uttered by the climate change lot: Global Stilling.
It is the latest addition to the reasons why wind power is not what it is cracked up to be, and next to useless because “Global Stilling” makes the wind too slow to be of much use for it.
Where has the wind gone? ‘Global stilling’ is blamed as wind speeds drop across Europe cutting green #energy production – threatening to drive up energy prices even FURTHER https://t.co/wRw2WAlFBl

Later in the day there was a further post from Craig McKinley MP hi-lighting a story from 2 years ago about how climate change was apparently going to be good for producing enough wind for these silly windmills.
Which one do you fancy?
2 years ago, scientists say global warming increases wind speeds – good for turbine energy.https://t.co/LdfxuDrOCb
Now global warming blamed for global ‘wind-stilling’ making for less wind production. Yes, I’m confused too!https://t.co/ur0Gwo2bOP— Craig Mackinlay MP (@cmackinlay) October 9, 2021
That was not the end of energy related news stories popping up in the news, or ones about the environment, but I’ll save those for another blog post.
One thought on “Global Stilling is Upon Us”
