Offshore Wind Turbines Made In China – dependable Energy?
Offshore Wind Turbines Made In China – dependable Energy?
In the Us Stimulus package was not millions but billions of dollars set aside for rapid advancement of investigate in alternative power science, and tax credits, subsidies, and guarantees for facility of our clean power future. All good right – well, yes many believe this is so and yet, let me play devil’s advocate for a occasion here and ask some questions;
1. Are we admittedly providing for a future of reliable clean energy?
2. Are we admittedly creating a new industry and jobs in the alternative power sector?
3. Are we admittedly stimulating our cheaper and industry to help us out of the stepping back with all this?
From my investigate and studies the write back is No, no we are not, in fact the law of unintended consequences seem to be a new reality here, for instance, we are providing jobs, but most of those jobs are in China, and we are assisting their economy, not ours. Their commercial capacity is strengthened and thus, it gives them the advantage in trade flows and alternative power advances. That’s okay right, China is a good trading partner, but it is not okay to do so at the charge of our economy, jobs, or main objective.
In fact, there was an animated article recently in China Economic retell that I’d advise to everyone titled; “A wind speed that can kill a market; China’s drive to build up wind power may leave some mistakes in its wake” by Bill Dodson published on November 29, 2010. Agreeing to the article there have been vital short cuts taken in manufacturing of these wind turbines, and folks now ask if they will be viable for offshore or right off the coast wind generation.
These off-shore wind turbines we are buying and many of the components may fail, thus we have no power when they do. Plus, China is using the Ree or Rare Earth Elements to build them, thus, crushing world supply for Rees that we need to make our high-tech equipment, military systems, radars, space toys, and our alternative power industry devices. So, indeed, those stimulus monies are helping China not the Usa. So, may I be so bold as to ask why we are doing this?
Please think this topic, and if you have any questions, comments, or other input – I’d admittedly like for you to feel me, send me an email, and bring up your points of contention so we can talk. Think on it, is there a real explication to this challenge?
