Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’ – STOP THESE THINGS"Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear overnight.
Warren Buffett put it best: “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.”

Wind power makes absolutely no sense at any level: environmental, social or economic.
In short, wind power is worse than useless, and there is an appalling price to pay for the lunatic notion that a nation can be powered by breezes.
Paul Driessen tackles the topic in superb style in this essay.

Sustainability: Ideology versus Reality (Part II: Wind Turbines)
"Mandated, subsidized wind energy requires millions of acres for turbines and ultra-long transmission lines, plus billions of tons of concrete, steel, copper, rare earth metals and fiberglass. The turbines produce intermittent, unreliable electricity that (absent subsidies) costs much more than coal or gas-fueled electricity – and must be backed by fossil fuel generators that must go from standby to full-power many times a day, very inefficiently, every time the wind stops blowing..."
