And many, if not most, of them are turned off when you drive by. Some running, some sitting. They cost the taxpayers a fortune, but the farmers are loving it.

Most of the farmers had a few windmills erected in their fields. For every windmill, the farmer is paid $20,000.00 per year. Some farmers have 5 and 6 of them on their land, bringing in a cool $100,000.00+ extra. Nice gig.

Is there anything that bloated national governments don't make worse with everythimg they touch?

For a long time in the USA we said that the one thing the federal government had not screwed up was our military.

Of course the politicians at the top got us involved in a lot of senseless wars here and there but the integrity of the military was never in doubt.

Then along came Opie Obama and Dopey Joe Biden.

Now we have a military half full of cross dressing transvestites, sexual deviates, perverts, affirmative action hirelings and other incompetent unemployables.

And they can't recruit enough normal people and real warriors to fill the other half and do the heavy lifting.

Here is an aspect of the Wind Generator scam that the government and the "Green New Deal" scammers don't want you to know:

The huge blades are made of carbon fiber, fiberglass, and balsa wood and require a lot of raw materials and energy to produce and transport to the field.

Once in use they eventually wear out due to exposure and the forces they are subjected to.
So they must be replaced at regular intervals before they fail and cause even more damage to the generators and structures.

And finally, they old blades are not recyclable and are costly and difficult to remove and dispose of.
Gasoline and diesel fueled helicopters, trucks, trains and tools are used to remove, replace and discard the worn out blades.
Then the old blades are cut into pieces and transported to huge burial grounds in places like West Texas and Wyoming.

They are not bio-degradable so once buried they will remain intact for millennia.

One additional thing to consider - Imagine the much greater difficulty, expense and use of "fossil fuels" to replace blades on the towers located in the seas and oceans.
