It would be great if this message could be well-supported and documented and spread far and wide. My sense is that it is true, and if so flies very much in the face of conventional wisdom. I have suspected for a good while that wind power was not a net benefit to the environment if properly analyzed.
Alas, truth has so little power in our corrupt oligarchy: We have known for decades now that growing corn to make ethanol, which our fascist government forces Exxon to put in our gasoline, is a huge waste for economic efficiency and for the environment. The subsidy and mandate continue, regardless of whether the Red team or the Blue team holds “power.”
It seems so much that ails us, J. Sobran, would be fixed if the federal government remained within its constitutional boundaries. But it does not, as you know, and there is little prospect it will.

Wind power despoils our landscape and environment.
It is unreliable. Simply put, wind turbines don’t produce energy when the wind doesn’t blow.
It is is heavily subsidized by the government to keep costs low, but what the public gets in return for that investment is much too limited.
It is madness to keep putting up these ugly windmills . Simply put, the costs out weigh the net benefit.
“Madness” is a good way to describe it, Fred. Let’s hope the tide is turning with Trump in office.
