“Shepherds Flat will be the world’s largest wind farm: 338 gigantic 2.5 MW turbines, 97 miles of new roads and 167 miles of high voltage transmission lines sprawling across 32,000 to 83,000 acres (up to twice the size of Washington, DC) of the scenic Columbia River Gorge area. At best, the turbines may average one-third of the 2.5 MW stamped on their nameplates. At the whim of the winds, the farm will generate electricity at wild swings between zero and the turbines’ combined rated capacity of 845 MW. “

What a boondoggle.

GE - Large Democrat and Obama donator pays no tax in 2010.
Exxon - Pays the most federal tax in nation.

Oil gets attacked but not Obama’s supporters who pay no tax.
