Where is the North East Township Wind Turbine Zone?

April 18, 2013 by Paul Crowe

North East township wind turbine zone

If you’re unclear where wind turbines are planned, it most likely means no one has contacted you and asked you to sign a lease. Unless you have attended a township meeting or gone out of your way to obtain one of these maps (shown above), you probably think they’re planned for somewhere near Interstate 90. […]

How They Do It – an Inside Look at a Wind Developer’s Playbook

April 14, 2013 by Paul Crowe

Wisconsin wind energy study

It doesn’t make sense. How do you go into to a tight knit rural community like North East and convince some of the landowners to erect gigantic, 500 foot, utility scale wind turbines on their land and make them believe it’s a good idea? On the face of it, it’s almost absurd. Yet, wind developers […]

Many residents of North East township are just finding out about the proposed wind turbine project that could place as many as 50 to 75 of the giant, 500 foot tall turbines in an area bounded by I90 and Townline Road with some sections as far north as Sidehill Road. If you are one of […]

Are There Too Many People in North East for a Utility Scale Wind Turbine Installation?

April 11, 2013 by Paul Crowe

North East has far more people per square mile than any comparable wind turbine installations.

Wind turbines, if they are to be built anywhere, should be placed in very sparsely populated areas because many of the most disruptive effects of having turbines nearby can be reduced simply by placing them far away from people, but developers are trying to move into areas, like North East township, where residential communities are […]

Unfortunately

The less you know about wind energy,
the more you'll like it.

Why wind developers never understand …

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

~ Upton Sinclair

Don’t know – Don’t care

Is willful ignorance necessary
to promote wind energy?

No, but it helps.

Climate Change

Another thing I must point out is that you cannot prove a vague theory wrong. … Also, if the process of computing the consequences is indefinite, then with a little skill any experimental results can be made to look like the expected consequences.

~ Richard Feynman, 1964

It’s not on-demand, it’s no-demand

Wind energy is "no-demand" electricity. If the wind isn't blowing and you demand electricity, the answer is no.

Wind – expensive, inefficient, unreliable



December 1923 Popular Science cover dreaming about generating electricity from windmills, and though the dream never dies, the dream doesn't work, didn't then, doesn't now and without huge government giveaways of your money, no wind farms would get built anywhere. The government forces utilities to buy wind power so payments to landowners are simply wind welfare.


Wind energy runs on tax credits

"I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate, for example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit."
~ Warren Buffett - from interview with Fortune magazine

Wind investments and high cost green energy

“I’m in the wind business … I’ve lost my ass in the business. ... Hey, we can get on everything green. We can get on everything renewable. Then the cost of power will go up ten times."
~ T. Boone Pickens - on Morning Joe on MSNBC
