Absolutely right. I live about 40 miles from Dodge Center, MN where there are literally hundreds of acres of windmill turbins. They produce roughly 2% of the area electricity, but if you took away the gubmint subsidies AND the electricity from coal plants to power the eye sores, they are a cash drain and inefficient at best. Plus they are a disgusting eyesore to hundreds of acres of these monstrosities where it used to be prime farm land. It’s like the gubmint subsidies to the ethanol plants to make up the difference between inefficient ethanol & fossil fuels.

I’ve seen that massive eyesore in Sweetwater, Texas. “The Windmill Capitol of the World” or some such nonsense. It goes on for miles. They are starting to put them up here in Arizona now. It’s a disgrace.
