Wind Farms Failures

Wind Farms Failures
Rob Finnerty reported on NewsMax TV yesterday that Wind Farms which were highly touted by Al Gore and other Environmentalists have not worked. Instead, they have cost taxpayer millions of dollars!
According to the Sierra Club, wind power electricity is economically viable without government assistance. This pronouncement of the Sierra Club has no relationship to reality. For the Sierra Club the most worrisome thing about wind power, something they avoid mentioning, is that the propellers kill birds.
The average cost of wind power is $115 per megawatt hour. The average cost of Natural gas is $20 per megawatt hour! Duhh!
Texas has gone overboard with wind power. Their massive wind system requires an annual $10 billion subsidy. That amounts to nearly $1000 per household in Texas. The subsidy money comes from federal taxes or increased electricity prices. Other states are subsidizing Texas’ wasteful spending via the federal taxes they pay.
It’s difficult for politicians, or anyone, to admit they’ve been conned. It’s time that everyone admits it and we kill the wind power industry! So, what is the answer?
