But just think of all them there greeeeeeen jobs that have been created. Sounds like a paltry 20 billion well spent. NOT! Thank you algore. Not to even mention the damage to my "view shed" the monstrosities are.

Sure, a subsidized wind fraud sucks, but running off grid with some small turbines is the given and future if ya can.

Also think how many birds wouldn’t have been needlessly killed. Eagles being the hardest hit.

Is shoveling up the dead birds a green job?

I went by a couple hundred windmills this weekend and last weekend. They were not moving. There was no wind.

So the coal, hydro, nuke, and gas plants all still had to exist.

Wind does virtually NOTHING marginally except create capital costs.

What happens when you shut down the coal fired generators that the EPA wants to do? I don’t think the greenies thought about that or they plain don’t care if we turn into a 3rd world country.

You can’t make up the difference with wind or solar. They are not going to build anymore nuke plants, we are probably tapped out on hydroelectric plants. Only one left is natural gas, but can that feel in the gap from coal? Only time will tell. I expect to see brownouts and rolling blackouts in the future.
