Wind Power to Destroy Economy?
Ilyan | 25.09.2005 22:26 | Analysis | Ecology
Do not laugh too loud, what is going to happen with Typhoons and Cyclones? is the sea there as much warmer as it is in the Atlantic? Will there be more big winds in the Southern hemisphere too? The first hurricane recorded in Brazil arrived about two years ago. Get out of any syndicate that is giving weather cover or quadruple your premiums now.
What is the maximum possible wind speed? Looking for an answer to that I tried http://tsr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/ but that is not answered there.

Now found: "This is the ``hypercane'' regime. Numerical simulations in this regime produce very intense storms (with wind speeds near the speed of sound), and it has been speculated that such storms may have formed over pools of very hot water created by large asteroid impacts with the ocean. But we do not have to worry about hypercanes otherwise!" http://wind.mit.edu/~emanuel/holem/holem.html

Yeah - But what will be the windspeed when the Methane from the thawing bog in Siberia pushes up the global temperature by twelve degrees? You are right on one thing, do not underwrite wind damege.
