Wind Energy's Ghosts

Wiwo...wiwo...wiwo.

The sound floats on the winds of Ka Lae, this southernmost tip of Hawaii's Big Island, where Polynesian colonists first landed some 1,500 years ago.

Some say that Ka Lae is haunted -- and it is. But it's haunted not by Hawaii's legendary night marchers. The mysterious sounds are "Na leo o Kamaoa"-- the disembodied voices of 37 skeletal wind turbines abandoned to rust on the hundred-acre site of the former Kamaoa Wind Farm.

The voices of Kamaoa cry out their warning as a new batch of colonists, having looted the taxpayers of Spain, Portugal, and Greece, seeks to expand upon their multi-billion-dollar foothold half a world away on the shores of the distant Potomac River. European wind developers are fleeing the EU's expiring wind subsidies, shuttering factories, laying off workers, and leaving billions of Euros of sovereign debt and a continent-wide financial crisis in their wake. But their game is not over. Already they are tapping a new vein of lucre from the taxpayers and ratepayers of the United States.

There are more than 14,000 abandoned wind turbines because the gummint subsidies expired but, with more gummint sugar, they continue being built.

We are being screwed by these envirowhackos.

The Dutch used windmills in the 15th century but as soon as more stable methods to produce power were discovered, windmills were used only on small farms and small businesses and were not FORCED ON THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Look at this beautiful graveyard of rusting skeletons.

Some say that Ka Lae is haunted...

I've been to that abandoned wind farm several times on visits to Hawaii.

It is creepy. It's a beautiful but lonely, desolate place. The dead and decaying wind mills give it a post-apocalyptic feel.

As others have noted, a fitting monument to the waste and stupidity of Government programs and political plundering.
