Yeah, I like wind energy, where it’s windy. Flame away!

Wind energy IS nothing but hot air. I am in the utility business, so I know what I am talking about here. You cannot generate baseload power from wind generation. That is power that MUST be available 24x7x365. Wind generators are notoriously unreliable, especially those with hydraulic transmissions. Even the greenies don't like wind turbines, because of the low-frequency noise and the number of birds sliced and diced.

Wind energy is going nowhere. It is another feel-good "green" luxury we can no longer afford.

How’s this for a flame. The government is forcing my utility to buy the more expensive wind electricity even when cheaper alternatives are available.

I hope you have a 300,foot tall windmill as your next door neighbor. Then get back to me on how much you love wind power.
