Morons. Every single leftist, pie in the sky idiot, and their representatives. All morons. I cannot fathom the stupidity. Seriously.
I hope the nitwits enjoy the cold winters with intermittent power. Likely, taxpayers continue to subsidize these Don Quixote windmills. Yet another fraud on people to enrich already wealthy eco-losers.
To make a wind-generator effective, you need placement in a region that favors wind a great majority of the year. I could see this working in Colorado, Montana, and maybe Wyoming or along the east coast. The other fifty-percent of the US, you will get marginal pay-back with the wind business.

Where do dead windmills go?
Alas, the world is full of people who can't -or won't - tell water vapor from ash, etc.
Just another reason I have to move from this state.

Go by one of these windfarms every year near Alma on our way to Grayling for our fly fishing trip. Have never seen more than half of them turning and it’s usually fewer. Not sure who produces the energy the idle ones aren’t producing.
Chasing windmills.
The green new deal means untold suffering for millions.
But, oh, the children must be listened to! /s
Probably more energy required to build and maintain those bird killers than what they produce in their lifetimes.
DOH! Our much smarterer lie-geslators in NV have “commanded” that the state get at least 50% of the energy by renewable sources by 2030 and 100% carbon free resources by 2050. Not sure what the punishment is for not getting to the 50% mark but that’s a mere 11 years away and we’re all supposed to be gone by then anyway. Fookin’ idjits!
-——shut down by 2032-——
that’s a long time, enough time to replace the plant with up to the minute gas turbine genertors that have no wind reliability factor
hope that utilities in other states have extra power available to sell at reasonable rates.
And the answer is for theses other States to JUST SAY NO. We are abiding by your zero CO2 emission’s policy and will NOT contribute to increasing deadly greenhouse gasses in Michigan.
Wind and solar are cruel jokes! Stop the madness!
Most people just dont understand how Michigan is considered a poor location for such gimmicks because the wind is inconsistent and not even that strong on a normal day.
When the blades are not spinning, Michigan’s utilities and the customers who rely on them would have to hope that utilities in other states have extra power available to sell at reasonable rates.
There is no adequate source for our energy needs than petroleum. Sun/wind won’t do it. Nuclear would work well too.
The left’s goal is to destroy our industrial society and bring us back to the level of bushmen.
Our energy supply needs are like a cake. The only thing wind and solar can ever be is the frosting.
Canadians have absolutely destroyed the scenic beauty of their Great Lakes’ coastlines with wind farms. They don’t dare report what those things do to birds and wildlife also.
