A got this press release from the DOE, showing how much the office cares more about politics and press than actually doing anything productive.
The Dept of Energy, created in 1977 has not produced one erg of energy in that 45 years, therefor it needs to be shut down. The private sector can, has and will do a better job.
They finally learned how to harness Pedo Joe when he breaks wind.
Meanwhile, actual wind turbine makers are leaving the industry because they can’t make a profit. This whole press release is riddled with falsehoods and yes “misinformation.”
Hilarious.
If they need tax incentives to be competetive...they aren’t.
I suppose we are paying for all of this “growth.”
Strong growth in crony capitalism millions or billions.
skank alert
You are so right, it is all about crony capitalism (Socialism?) on a scale that the railroad barons could only dream.
Toss in a couple of outright lies ... wind power is nowhere near an inexpensive energy source, even after all the state and federal government grants.
U.S. (Any Department Here) expects anything, the opposite is reality. They hardly have facts on their side.
A joke-— wind power is NOT renewable. It is not even properly store-able to be effective as a source. The towers and turbines break down, and cannot be disposed of materially. Whole documentaries on the story. Batteries will not store the power for non wind days to then add to the “grid”. Fantasy land from the heavily wind power invested... Secretary of Energy... Granholm. What a selfish stupid moron.
” ... wind power is nowhere near an inexpensive energy source...”
I read two studies several years apart on the true cost of wind power. The first study I read several years ago indicated that the cost of wind power was 26 times that of the conventional sources of natural gas, coal or nuclear.
A second study I read in the past several months indicated that that the wind power subsidy is 52 cents per KwH. Since the conventional sources were around 2 cents per KwH the two studies corroborate one another.
The vile arrogant and ignorant sociopaths continue to push this. I don’t think Granholm is lying. She is so profoundly stupid she actually believes the propaganda.
“As one of the cheapest energy sources nationwide, wind energy generates enough electricity to power more than 43 million homes...”
We need to identify those 43 million homes and isolate them on “wind only” power grids.
Drill baby drill. Dig baby dig. Mine baby mine.
How many large bird deaths occur every day from these stupid wind turbines?
“Installed capacity” is not a measure of production, it’s just buying an expensive lottery ticket.
Recently drove past a decommissioned wind farm in Alberta, Canada. Guide said that field was too expensive to maintain and needed constant repair. No idea what they intend to do with idle windmills. This is not the future of energy nor is it free.
