Clever, but yes, that’s partially true. With gov’t tax credits, the bar was lowered, marginal projects were given the go-ahead, and manufacturing capacity was built to support an artificially high level of demand. Now that the subsidy is being removed, guess what, all that house of cards is collapsing.
But what should have - and needs to happen - is to allow the free market to work. It won’t be as fast but it will be real, rather than driven by gov’t intervention. There will be fewer projects to begin with, but a much greater emphasis on R&D to continue the pattern that has been happening despite subsidies to make wind generation on a utility scale cost-competitive with coal, nukes, and hydro. When that happens, your argument goes away. And the only way for it to happen is to allow creativity and inventiveness to drive innovation rather than handing over cash to perpetuate inefficiency that is not self-sufficient.
It’s kinda like kicking your kid out of the basement so he’s forced to get a job instead of mooching all his life ;-)
And, these things are so ugly. We have thousands of them in the Columbia Gorge and along what used to be pristine ridges in other places in Washington that have lots of wind. Ugly! Ugly! Plus we have nice dams that produce far more electricity, cheaper and more consistent.
