Pure idiocy.
My power company recently announced that they have decided against building the new coal fired plant and are building a wind farm instead (Plus raising my rates an “estimated” 6%)

More workers have already died falling from wind turbine towers than all nuclear power plant accidents combined, except Chernobyl in USSR. While nuclear power goes back 60 years, wind turbines are a recent phenomena.

I have absolutely no problem with wind power and support it if it can pass the following criteria.
1. It must be competetive with fossil or nuclear energy derived electricity.
2. The environmental damage to the locals must be fully compensated, those blades make a bucket load of noise and chew up the occasional bird.
3. No government monies can be used to subsidize the wind power.
The above three criteria in effect would stop all wind power generated electricity today. When and if wind power can meet the above criteria I will support it. Today it does not meet even one requirement much less all three.

What used to be spectacular scenery in many parts of America has been altered to a glut of windmills, lined up by the dozens.

Thanks george76.
