Several countries in Europe have given up on wind power. That "free energy" is running them bankrupt.

There is a small business owner that put one up in my home town. People that worked there said it cost about $450K to install the tower and windmill. He got a lot of it subsidized (aka we paid for it). There is also a life expectancy of about 10 years on upper unit. Long before they make back in energy savings for what they spent on the tower and unit, you have to replace it. It’s a money pit.
