Hello, everyone

This is Enta.

Do you know what the problems with wind power are?

It's surprisingly little-known, and I was like, "!!" when I heard about it, lol.

When I heard about this about 15 years ago, it was said that each wind turbine (with blades about 20 meters long—though I don’t think people actually describe them that way)

I'd heard it was 300 million.

And I think they said the annual maintenance cost was 80 million, and the annual power generation was just under 150 million... (I don't remember exactly)

I remember thinking back then, “You can write off the main unit in about five years, right?!” lol

After that, you'll be raking in the cash!!

I’ve been thinking, “I’d love to have one of those.”

 

However, even if you only want one unit, when you consider everything from building the access road to installing the foundation, it’s still...

It's just way too expensive for what you get, isn't it? lol

We'll have to build at least 10 of them—there's the issue of the access road, after all.

Well, to be honest, I realized back then that it wasn't realistic lol (It is a government project, after all lol).

 

Well, actually, the problem isn't really that—it's the shadows.

Wind turbines cast shadows when they generate electricity.

Shadows appear at regular intervals.

Apparently, people react to this shadow.

Suppose that every time the blades rotate at regular intervals, a shadow passes across a person.

 

Apparently, when people stand in that shadow, they experience headaches, dizziness, or feel unsteady on their feet.

Apparently, this is called "shadow noise."

 

The cause isn't clear, so it remains a mystery lol

I actually wrote this article back in 2017, but even now, it doesn't really come up much when I search for it online.

There have been numerous reports of a noise phenomenon known as "Shadow Flicker."

I'm not sure if this is the source of the noise or just a shadow, but,

It really made me realize that humans are creatures that react to the smallest details.

Apparently, XX Electric Company is actually having a hard time because of this, lol (I can't go into too much detail).

 

Even though we keep talking about “eco,” I guess “eco” really is just “ego” when it comes down to it, since it requires all sorts of sacrifices...

When vested interests are involved, people tend to interpret things in a way that suits them and go into battle wielding the "eco" shield, don't they?

I'm not against them, but I do feel like the current SDGs are kind of... meh.

In the end, there are vested interests, and we’re just being manipulated by them...

 

I think there was a scene in *Fist of the North Star* where someone was made to dance on a scorching hot iron plate.

I feel like that's exactly what's going on, lol.

Fist of the North Star: Complete Collection

The Real World and the World of *Fist of the North Star*!

It's starting to feel like not much has changed, so I think I'll just go ahead and buy the whole series and reread it lol

 

See you later
