TNB's wind power in Malaysia map<\/p><\/div>\n

Just a quick note to myself really – many, many times online I’d replied to people saying “why doesn’t Malaysia use wind power?” with my belief that it doesn’t have any. I couldn’t find a good source for that\u00a0 before today, relying on maps of global wind patterns and the argument that “this isn’t called the Doldrums for nothing”. I found the link on a nuclear -versus – solar page at TNB which bizarrely concludes that renewable energy is ‘unpalatable’. As if somebody has to eat it.<\/p>\n

The whole “Think nuclear, think green” section at TNB appears to me to have been written by a 12-year-old set a ‘justify nuclear at all costs’ exercise. Why include graphs with illegible legends? In what way is ‘refuel every 18-24 months’ a guarantee of energy security forever? The material is so devoid of facts that it’s impossible to conclude that it’s anything other than marketing gloss.<\/p>\n
