And, that is correct. A friends son did some work at the yuge solar plant outside of Tonopah. He was all ‘greenish’ before that. He said the place is horribly polluted. Made him consider they might just be lying. We also hate the windmills. Remember when folks could sue for someone ruining their “view shed”? WELL?
I’m watching the show and really like it so far. Waiting for the next episode.
The more I learn about these useless windmills, the more I realize they were the epitome of a "green energy" scam that Obama grifted to all of his donors.
Case in point, a blade fails over farmland, all of the crops, acres of crops, in the vicinity of the failed blade have to be destroyed due to microscopic plastic contamination.
There is nothing "clean" about these windfarm abominations.
There's tons of literature out there on these wind farms and how horrible they are. The blades can't be recycled. Tons of lubricant oil. Short lifespans. Poor return on investment. The destruction of avian wildlife. The list is endless.
As Thornton's character said, "If Exxon thought these things would make money, they'd be everywhere."
As it is, they're only in places where government mandates and Democrat corporate grifters forced them.
You guys don’t hate the windmills like I do.
We regularly drive the Columbia River Gorge and the wild scenic beauty is destroyed.
We regularly drive through the eastern Washington Palouse hills and the scenic beauty is being wiped out.
We regularly drive through the California Altamont Pass and have watched that incredible scenic beauty wiped out over the past 40 years.
We occasionally drive through the magnificent Sacramento River Delta and have seen that gorgeous area DESTROYED.
About half the time those infernal machines are not turning. The average capacity factor of all wind machines is 28%. Would you invest in an asset that produces only 28% of its nameplate rating? Of course you wouldn’t…unless the government subsidies made up for the crappy economics.
In 20-30, years the nation will be a forest of 300 foot tall rusting towers and millions of tons of concrete in the ground. It will take a multi-hundred billion dollar Superfund III to clean up the mess because all the wind companies will have gone Chapter Seven.
