What????!!

Wind power is “MUCH CHEAPER” and requires less land???????!!

It takes 1350 wind turbines to equal one coal fired plant, each occupying 5 acres of land, plus all the spider web of extremely UGLY transmission lines that are required to move this stupidity to any nearby grid. The Coal Plant occupies about 20 acres, while the extremely inefficient and costly wind farm occupies 6,700 acres of land to do the same thing. (Not including the transmission lines)

Not only that, but the long term maintenance costs and difficulties of these systems will force electrical costs to more than double due to that aspect alone.

But these people know this and will lie cheat and steal to have their way, simply because they believe they are moraly correct and are above logical scrutiny.

Its about the money.

Solar power "was a financial product, not an energy solution," says Ignacio Sánchez Galán, chairman of Iberdrola, the world's biggest renewable-energy company. Iberdrola has largely shunned solar because wind power is cheaper and requires less land.

This guy was comparing WIND power to SOLAR power, not a coal fired plant.
