In the US, wind power is dependent on government subsides.
I suspect that in other countries, wind and solar power are government projects with painted rosie projections.
My feasibility study in 1981 concluded that US wind power is dependent on government subsidies to be profitable and holds true today.
Here's how this conversation goes - this happens every single time:
Me: "wind and solar are boondoggles which would not even exist without massive government subsidies. They cannot even compete in the marketplace."
Gaia Worshiper: "Yeah well well well....Oil and Gas and Coal get subsidies too!"
me: "a tax break is NOT a subsidy.
Gaia Worshiper: "Yeah it is. Look at how much more money the government could be taking from them. That's a subsidy!"
me: "uhhh no. The government MAKES vast amounts of money on Oil/Gas/Coal. It actively hands big wads of cash to wind and solar or they would not even exist. Taking less of the money you earn is not the same thing as handing you other people's money."
At this point they never have a good answer and desperately try to deflect. Again, this happens EVERY time you talk to these people about it.
