Windmills to generate electricity are ruining my “view shed”. LOL! Can I sue? Thankfully none around me yet. But, driving from FL to NV we saw some HUGE ones that were simply disgusting to see in the middle of NFW, Kansas stretching for miles. What a waste of time and money for little to no benefit for the general populace. I’m sure GE is making BIG bucks with subsidies and incentives. Zero income tax? Really? You go jeffy. You and your butt buddy king hussein.
Up until 2009, I sat in German for around fourteen years. Year after year....more windmill farms were being built. The thing that I came to realize from the German statistics and propaganda on the business....is that for every percentage point of use that you get out of them....you have to have that same percentage point existing somewhere else...ready to go with backup power. This means a nuke plant or hydro-electric plant, or coal plant. People are tossing billions for the wind power, but you have to sustain the back-up power as well. This makes the whole thing questionable.
The birds killed? Best not to mention that to the environmentalists. They’ve got one or two groups who are very anti-wind-power...strictly because of bird kill.
The maintenance? If you drive past a group of a dozen wind-mills daily....it’s about every six weeks that you see one of them down for maintenance. Don’t know the cost but it can’t be cheap. And those lightning strikes? Well...yeah, they do occur in extreme storms.

The liberals again have succeeded at their deceptive games.
It is the conservatives that allow themselves to be manipulated for fear that, if they don’t play along with the liberals, they will be looked at as socially unfriendly.
Liberals beat the conservatives like a drum, every time.
There is a movement afoot to look at LFTRs (molten salt Thorium reactors). With the help of a member from the House of Lords (Baroness Smith), the Weinberg Foundation has been started.
Weinberg is the father of LFTR reactors and was in charge of ORLN for over 15 years.
