Wind Power Blues: Belgium could face electricity shortages in winter with low winds

Belgium could face electricity shortages in January if the thermometer falls below -5°C and there is little wind, the association of European high-tension managers, ENTSO-E, warned on Wednesday.

The association, which studied the availability of electricity supplies this winter in Europe, said that if the weather remained normal, it did not foresee any problems. However, if the cold weather peaks in Europe, increased monitoring would be needed at the start of the year in Belgium, France, northern and central Italy and Slovenia.

Should electricity plants stop working and there is little wind, these countries would need to take exceptional measures, ENTSO-E said.

According to the simulations conducted, there could be problems for Belgium in the third week of January, ENTSOE-E noted. Should temperatures drop below -5° and if wind capacity is reduced to 30%, shortages could, in fact, ensue, the association warned...

Thanks to President Trump – After a Decade Absence – The US is Once Again the World’s Most Competitive Economy!

The Trump economic policies are working –

After a decadelong absence, the U.S. has regained the distinction of most competitive country in the world, according to the World Economic Forum. In fact, only Japan made a bigger improvement of all 140 countries in the survey.

“Economic recovery is well under way, with the global economy projected to grow almost 4% in 2018 and 2019,” said the report, which measures economies by 98 indicators to determine how close they are to the ideal state of competitiveness.

The unemployment rate is at 50 year lows and wages are going up. There are more people working today than ever before and the GDP is at an all time high. The debt to GDP ratio is going down.

Trump’s economy will stay on fire if the Fed doesn’t kill it.

The President could not do more economically for Americans. He’s making America great again!
