He also cited federal tax […]

Germany Joins Countries Retreating from Expensive Green Energy Revolution

July 14, 2013 by Paul Crowe

You don't need conventional power plants, all you need are few wind turbines.

Despite assurances from wind and solar advocates, the switch to “green energy” isn’t going so well. Germany, a country that signed on for a big push to replace all of their nuclear plants with sunshine and wind and included the all too common mandates and subsidies for renewable energy and who refused to use natural […]

Green Energy Industry Collapsing in Spain as Government Support Runs Dry

June 23, 2013 by Paul Crowe

Spain green energy indusrty collapsing as government support runs out

Spain went all in on “green energy” because it was the future, it would provide jobs, and it would grow their economy, so they lavished the industry with subsidies and caps on electric rates, charging less for “renewable” electricity than the cost of producing it. It’s no wonder wind and solar companies were having a […]

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
