One of the ‘giants’ of wind power/other people’s money is a European company named Orsted. Orsted withdrew from several US East Coast wind projects. Even with
$$-billions-$$ of taxpayer $$$ up front, Orsted claimed east coast wind power was not economically feasible. Now, Orsted is downsizing significantly. Just like Solyndra, I’m sure the higher ups received their millions before they bailed, with the usual 10% for the Big Guy.

New London and Hartford

A couple of the many criminal outposts for grotesque quasi-governmental hedge fund/ corporate wind energy taxpayer-raping thieves

In order for wind power to be viable you need a location with good wind resources.

That means that the winds blow strongly almost all the time for power generation but never too strongly or the turbines need to be shut down

There are very few sites with good wind resources that are near population centers, especially on the East coast

Wind power is simply not viable in most parts of the US, especially the parts that have the highest demand for power
