Ha! Just deserts for you, folks!
Besides making nonstop noise, windmills use 10X the concrete and steel of a conventional fossil power plant; periodically stop making power; you have to spend 2X the capital for your generator PLUS your backup system; they are an incredible visual blight across America; cause constant flickering light in early morning and late afternoon as the blades pass through the sunlight; are great raptor choppers; and regularly collapse and catch on fire.
Other than those few minor problems, wind is great and is the solution to all our problems! It just needs another trillion dollars of federal tax subsidies, that's all. Then it'll work.
That comment by Lisa Linowes is incredibly stupid. Go ahead, Lisa. Put all the windmills in urban centers where the noise won't bother the already-insane who live there.
Wind power supplies 0.4 percent of national electricity. Statistically, that accounts for zero percent.
Just to be clear. There are regulations for wind farms? And the regulations hurt the industry by driving up costs and creating more liability?
Welcome to the CLUB! They should go cry to the Coal Industry, Nuclear Power Industry or even the Auto Industry about government regulations making business hard. At least the government is paying the “greenies” industry. They should just shut up and dance while the gravy train is still on the downhill tracks.
as Eve from Last Man Standing would interject to these VT’s:
SUCK IT!
