I know. Our energy bills will be the same as our mortgage/rent.
I cant wait.
Even that idiot michael moron had a “duh moment” when he realized that.
They aren’t the sharpest tool in the tool shed. Or come to think of it, not even the sharpest tool in the archeological sites. ( since we are after all speaking fossil fuels)
Places where wind is available are usually not close to population centers, so the grid is extremely important. It will need huge investments in storage also, which simply doesn’t exist now.
Offshore wind become “a thing” about 25 years ago. Denmark and Holland are just about to find out how costly it will be to decommission those first spent windmills at sea, who are now breaking down, and the bases of which weigh 300 tons
This isn’t about clean energy....it’s about the massive investors in companies that the elites are highly invested in across the board in the US and on the world stage........which eventually every nation will have carbon tax’s to pay if they’re not purchasing their “green’ solutions. Either or the revenue flow is what they’re after......and control.
Every stage in manufacturing wind turbines involves fossil fuels, and plenty of them. Without steel, cement, and fiberglass, there is no wind turbine. All the three are produced with fossil fuels.
= = =
But, in a billion years those turbines and towers will have evolved to be self creating and not need those fossil fuels.

Disposal of components used in
windmills and solar panels will
create major problems with land
space and contamination of soils.
Fiberglass (wind turbine blades),
is non-recyclable. Many components
in solar panels contain hazardous
chemicals, and are also non-
recyclable.
EV batteries suffer the same
problems.
Millions of windmills and solar
panels would be required to supply
the nation’s electric power needs.
Euphoria is fleeting.
I’m sorry to hear that Gina McCarthy is brain-damaged.
It takes a special kind of stupid to be a democrat.
I personally have always thought that wind generation of electricity is an example of a reverse economy of scale. It makes a certain amount of sense for — say — a single household off the power grid because of distance or other isolating circumstances, but when one tries to scale it up to a major contributor to the power network, it fails.
Smaller installations, designed and built of recyclable, modular parts, generating electricity for single farms or small communities might be more viable. Especially if they had the ability to sell any surplus power they generated to the regional or national grid, and buy power from that source when their wind generation was inadequate.
The great scam
I think of a conventional power plant like the engine in your car. Would any sane person propose to replace that engine with hundreds of tiny model car engines? Of course not. And even that absurd scenario would be less ridiculous than the use of wind power, because at least it would be easy to access the model car engines to maintain them.
Where do these f*cking idiots think we are going to get the electricity for all these “zero emissions” electric cars.
Oh, just ask AOC, she knows. “It comes from the wall, silly.”
