You only see half of a system

In any wind powered system, in order to have power when the wind isn't blowing, you must have an energy storage system. Small systems, like for one house, will often have batteries. Other methods have also been tried such as flywheels, compressed air, and hydrogen production.

Along with all the thousands of wind turbines that have been and are being erected in the U.S.A., where is the energy storage? I have never seen or heard of any. Could it be underground? Like, maybe in an underground military base? I don't know, that is why I am asking. What I do know is that what the wind power companies build where I can see them is only half a system. Where is the other half? Where is the energy storage part?

Take the Alternative Energy Challenge

Prove me wrong on the following assertions:

There is no electrical power grid, owned by a public utility, any where on the face of the earth, that is powered exclusively by wind power, solar power, or a combination of the two.

There has never been a fossil fuel electrical generating plant on the face of the Earth that has been replaced by wind power, solar power, or a combination of the two.

There has never been a nuclear power plant on the face of the earth that has been replaced by solar power, wind power, or a combination of the two.

In order to meet present electrical power demand, for every megaWatt of wind or solar power capacity that you have, you must also have a megaWatt of fossil fuel, nuclear or hydropower.

There is no solar cell factory on the face of the earth that get its power to operate exclusively from solar cells.

There is no wind turbine factory on the face of the earth that gets its power exclusively from wind energy.

Without diesel fuel, a wind farm ceases to operate.

If you have evidence to prove any of these assertions wrong, please post that evidence in a comment.

"The USA's unipolar world ended in Georgia"

I borrowed a headline from someone. It is now reported that China and some other central asian nations are aligning with Russia:

Russia wins backing from China

There appears to be two camps aligning; the USA, and Europe against China and central asia. Will there eventually be a third like in George Orwell's 1984 ?

Paul Craig Roberts says the USA is provoking a nuclear war with Russia

Nuclear war shares a few characteristics with a sword fight. In a sword fight, the first thing you try to do is prevent your opponent from cutting you. Second, you look for vital targets to strike. Sword fights are usually fast, short and descisive. Generally, you die by bleeding to death. Forget the Hollywood versions of sword fights.

In an interview with Jason Bermas on the Alex Jones show, Paul Craig Roberts talks about the possiblility of nuclear war with Russia. It is a pretty dire picture.

Most people believe that in a nuclear exchange that the big cities will be targeted. This probably comes about because most fictional movies on the topic show just that. In Fail Safe, New York City and Moscow are the targets.

In real life, things might be different. The first objective in nuclear war, as in sword fighting, is to try to keep your opponent from nuking you back. So the first targets aren't the cities, but any facility with retaliatory capabilities. These targets would be things like the nuclear missle silos, the bomber bases and runways, aircraft carriers and the nuclear submarines. If you are successful in disabling all of your enemies' retaliatory capabilities, then his land lis open to you for whatever else you want to hit. This is like cutting the wrist of the hand that your opponent is holding his sword with. Not only will he be unable to grip his sword any longer, but he will bleed profusely.

The second targests would be infrastructure. Major highways, bridges, trains, communications centers, mines, and, most important to the topic of this blog, electrical power generation. Coal burning power plants, nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams are high on the list of potential targets. These targets could be destroyed each with one well placed bomb, and it wouldn't have to be nuclear, or delivered from an airplane or missle.

The third target would be cities, just for general population reduction. But an enemy wouldn't get to this until after they are very certain that the target nation cannot respond. Back in 1964 when Fail Safe came out, bombing cities made more sense since cities were centers of industrial and manufacturing. Since the U.S.A. has become a 'post industrial' nation, it doesn't make as much sense. If you wanted to bomb the manufacturing centers of the U.S.A. today, you would have to bomb Shandog and Guangdong China.

I am saying all this to people who live in rural areas and think they are safe from nuclear war because it will be the cities that are bombed. If you live near an electrical generating plant, a hydroelectric dam, a military base with long range bombers, or missle silos, you might be in the target range. And if there is a wind farm nearby you, there might be an underground facility that will be a target.

Contrary to popular propoganda, which says that nuclear war is so horrible as to be unthinkable, and therefore it is futile to prepare for it, nuclear war is really very survivable. Of course, 'ground zero' is not a good place to be. But if you survive the blast and fire storm, the radiation dies quickly. If you can shelter inside for a week or two, your chances of survival increase greatly. Most people will die of radiation poisoning and from panic and dehydration, not from the initial blast.

One thing for certain is that the Elite and the government have prepared for it. They have underground bunkers, stocked with food, water and ammunition. However, if you do the same thing, they will label you a 'survivalist, anti-government, paranoid, horder, militia', and maybe a 'racist'. So, just prepare, and don't let anyone know that you are peparing. You can download documents published by Civil Defense from Eric Green's website that tell how to build shelters and what they should be stocked with.. Civil Defense documents - pdf downloads

How to tell when the Music Man comes to your town.

If you live in River City, USA, there may by chance be near you an underground military or other governmental facility. 'Near' meaning; within about a hundred miles, in the eastern states, in the western states, maybe three hundred.

Then one day, the Music Man arrives in your town. He wants to sell you some wind instruments. These are about three or four hundred feet tall, however, and are called 'wind turbines'. Here is what the Music Man will tell you:

• These wind turbines are good for the children. This is the future.
• There will be lots of tax revenue created by these wind turbines, which can be spent on schools and such. Again, good for the children.
• The Music Man really loves your community and thinks it is a wonderful place, and wants to build a long relationship with your people.
• The wind turbines are wonderful for the environment. You do want the children to grow up in a clean environment, don't you?
• The Music Man tells you that he has gone up onto a local mountain and measured the wind speed for a year and he thinks this is maybe the 'best place in the whole world for a wind farm'.
  
• The Music Man tells you that the wind turbines will create all kinds of jobs, so the children won't have to leave and go someplace else to make a living.
• They are a great tourist attraction.
  

Then after the wind turbines are erected, reality sets in.

• After the wind turbines are errected, the Music Man sells them to another company, usually FPL, and then skips out of town.
  
• The owners of the wind turbines do not pay any property taxes.
• The wind turbines don't turn out to be so good for the environment or the local economy.
• They act more like a tourist repellent than an attractor.

You have been had.

But, now you ask, what does this have to do with Elite Hideaways? Ah, a capital question, and one which this humble blog will attempt to show.

If someone come to your town, or county, with a wind farm project or a solar energy project, ask yourself this question: Is there near you, or in the next county or two from you, any of the following:

• A military base, fort, training grounds or testing ground?
• A facility owned by a para-military private organization such as Wakkenhut or Brown & Root?
• A F.E.M.A or Homeland Security office?
• A rumored underground governmental facility?
• A factory or testing grounds belonging to a large government contractor?
• Any place where 'secret' research is taking place, governmental or private?
  
• Any place that is fenced and heavily guarded, where the public is not allowed?
  

If so, you might start to realize just who the 'alternative energy' instalation is really meant to serve.

Happy snoping.
