Wind energy means
a large-scale technological regression.
Prof. Joachim Lüdecke argues
wind power
represents a return to
medieval-level power density...
In his presentation at the Climate and Energy Conference held by the
Germany-based European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) in
Halle, Prof.
Horst-Joachim Lüdecke examined the energy
efficiency of
wind turbines and found that,
they are terribly
inefficient at producing electricity...
Prof. Horst-Joachim Lüdecke concludes that,
wind energy is leading us "back to the Middle
Ages."
Lüdecke argues that human progress has always
depended on continuously increasing
the available power and energy
density.
This historical progression began in agriculture with,
draft animals,
moved to medieval windmills and waterwheels, advanced to the steam
engine and combustion engines, and culminated in modern coal and
nuclear power plants.
According to Lüdecke, never before in human history has a society
shifted on such a large scale to a backward-looking method that
yields a lower power density than already established technologies.
Because wind turbines have an extremely low power density (averaging
only about 3.6 watts per square meter annually and locally, compared
with approximately 7,000 watts for coal plants), he views their
large-scale expansion as a technological regression...
Lüdecke emphasizes that wind turbines suffer from fundamental flaws
based on the laws of nature that cannot be fixed.
In addition to their extreme dependence on the weather ("volatile
power"), including the physical law that states,
a wind turbine's
power output is proportional to the cube of the wind speed; if the
wind speed drops by half, the power output plummets to just
one-eighth (12.5%).
In summary,
he views the attempt to power Germany
primarily with wind and
solar energy as a politically forced
effort to return to an unreliable, medieval method of energy
generation (Wind

progress.
