When you see the model of what Musk did with Tesla, turning it into a 3/4 of a Trillion Dollar, and most valuable car company in the world based off the back of subsidies?
Gubmit money feeds that kind of Wind Farm and Solar Bank foolishness. The Hydrocarbon industry is competing with the Greenies who are benefiting with a marked deck.
As President Reagan said, government is the problem. Here is a very minor but real example. On February 10, I sent a package via USPS to my son in Bismarck, NoDak complete with tracking info. As of this morning, the tracking says the package is delayed but is on its way to the next facility. The last checkpoint was it left Palatine, Illinois on February 11. What the heck is that? Do you think UPS or FedEx could survive with similar performance?
Can you imagine a Federal Supermarket? What a mess that would be.
Then, to the point of wind farms. When do they generally stall in output? Extreme weather such as heat waves, bitter cold or freezing precipitation. These are precisely the times when they are most needed. Then, there is the carbon footprint of a single turbine from its manufacture, to soil stabilization, to foundations and so on. Retired turbines must be landfilled. They are monuments to our emotional stupidity.
