Everyone knows windmills are a scam.. when you add up their manufacture transport and installation costs they don’t even produce enough energy to make money over their typical life expectancy. It’s a complete scam

The same is true of solar panels.

I don't know how old you are but in my life time NOTHING is going to replace the efficiency of oil and derivatives gasoline and jet fuel.

"A lithium-ion battery, at its best, packs 110 watt-hours of energy per pound. Gasoline has 6,000 watt-hours per pound. Now, a gasoline motor is inefficient, discarding 85% of the fuel's energy--losing it to the transmission, wasting it on idling and discharging it as heat. Electric motors waste just 10%, but it still leaves gas with a 9-to-1 weight advantage."

TSTC (Texas state tech college) was dumb enough to embrace this technology into a program:

When I attended, the running joke was Too Stupid To Conceive.

Follow the money trail.

Who in government stands to gain by their installation?

Perfect word SCAM. That is exactly what they are.
