Carbon emissions

Directives to reduce emissions of CO2 are used to push forward wind energy development, despite its being a diffuse, intermittent, and highly variable source of energy – and therefore necessarily expensive and land-use intensive. The ability of wind turbines to reduce CO2 emissions in the power sector (never mind transportation, heating, animal agriculture, and deforestation, let alone population growth) is only assumed and never tested.
