Lynn and Inner Dowsing Wind Farms

I realize that Kevin is mathematically challenged, but I didn't realize that he can't comprehend that the 450,000 homes that 60 Minutes stated would be powered assumed that the farm would run at nameplate 24/365.

Hell, I served you the math on a silver platter, yet Kevin is still baffled.

Those homes are being powered. 60 Minutes NEVER stated that the wind farms are or ever would be their SOLE source of power.

Get it? Of course you don't. You misunderstood the article. Quit bleating. I'm done here, spent too much time talking to an idiot already.

60 Minutes reported that these two wind farms would power 450,000 home, while these farms will only power 150,000 homes.  Almost importantly, they ignored the cost of the back up power plant.

Once again, I ask our resident Libs to provide contrary information.  You can't and you won't.

For the mathematically challenged, nameplate capacity divided by the average UK household electricity usage equals 450,000.  The farm runs at 1/3 of that, confirming that 60 Minutes is the Lyin' Liberal organization that I already understood well.

Does this also mean that electric cars that are advertised as 300 miles per recharge could be lower under actual condidtions?

I don't know the answer to your question.  I have proven, however, that 60 Minutes lied to America.  No surprise here.......I assumed they used nameplate for their calculation since Lib rags do this nearly 100% of the time.

You haven't proved shit, Boiler. You lied about what 60 Minutes said and then proceeded to argue against what they never said at all.

I know your shame prevents you from admitting that. Tell ya what...post a video excerpt from the segment where they say (as you "reported') where they say that those wind farms are running at full capacity.

You can't do that. Lyin' Con.

"Actual conditions," dum-dum, could refer to just about any situation. Just as MPG figures for conventional vehicles are calculated based on optimally efficient driving habits, so are those figures published for EVs. Obviously, if you drive with a lead foot, or spend forever in a traffic jam, or your driving is primarily city/stop-and-go, you won't do as well--in either kind of car.

So (and I'm sure you only dimly understand this), range figures for EVs are figured based on optimal driving conditions, just as MPG/range is figured for conventional vehicles. Nothing sinister or underhanded about it. The important thing is that rigid standards are used.

Oh, and by the way--the EPA MPG figures can be exceeded; I've done so many, many times, in all sorts of vehicles. So I assume that with expert driving, an EV with a stated range of 300 miles can be stretched to 350 or even 400.

Kevin.  I provided you with this information regarding the two wind farms.

1.  Nameplate capacity.

2.  Actual real world historical average production rates of 31-36% depending on the year.

3.  I provided the number of homes that 60 minutes said that the wind farms power.

4.  Average annual UK per home power usage of 2900kwh.

Certainly before I got out of grade school, I could have easily taken this information, and concluded that 60 Minutes used Nameplate capacity when generating their "how many homes powered" lie.

Kevin, is this simple math too complicated for you to understand?  If not, please explain this simple calculation.

Believe what you want, but they never said the wind farms would be operating at nameplate capacity all the time.
