“Trump must kill the wind turbine industry. And order all turbines be removed no exception and the turbine industry must pay for removal.”

And being that here in Texas 12% of our electricity is produced by wind power and at times there has been so much wind power produced in Texas that wholesale electricity prices have gone to negative, what are we going to do for electricity when all those wind turbines are removed by the federal government? Not only will the cost of electricity increase, but we are going to have brownouts.

Who told you 12 percent is produced by wind power. That is pure BS.

I remember back in the early 1970's during the gas shortages when the Federal gov't mandated the 55 mph speed limit. Some federal bureaucrat noticed that TX had placed their new speed limit signs too low, and demanded the state raise them by 6" to conform to Federal standards or TX would lose its share of the federal highway funds. I also remember someone in Texas saying: We'll do it ourselves, 'cuz knowing you feds, you'd come in and lower the road by 6".

Wind turbines are pushing Texas’s power grid to the limit, despite more than $8 billion invested in green infrastructure, according to a report published Friday in the Technology Review, by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“Texas is learning just how costly it is to wrangle the wind,” MIT researchers found.

Texas is already spending $8 billion, but the state’s utilities and transmission companies will have to spend hundreds of millions more to upgrade the system enough to transport electricity from wind-rich West Texas to market in East Texas, the report found. Texas’ new wind turbines also place dangerous stress on the power grid, potentially leading to blackouts.
