Sure, a subsidized wind fraud sucks, but running off grid with some small turbines is the given and future if ya can.

If I had the money and space as well as lived in a place with lots of sun I would just go PV and have it sent back into the grid so the meter could go backwards.

Got a call from one of those environmental-friendly groups a few weeks ago. They were asking for support to continue the money flowing into renewable energy. I asked the caller if that included windpower. She said it does. I asked for if she knew that windmills kill eagles. She did.

She could not answer the question "how can you love the environment but support the slaughter of eagles?"

One can only conclude these people are hypocritical idiots. PS: I'm a tree-hugger.....and I like those eagles soaring above the trees.

Big scale wind power is a fraud. Small scale “self-sufficient” wind power, esp. with an “earthship” type home, is not a bad idea.

I wish I could afford it since I have a large open space on the south side that would catch sun all year. My neighbor has almost his entire south side roof covered with panels. They are gone most of the time and the pigeons absolutely love the 6 inch space in between.
