T Bonehad Pickens is pushing wind and is heavily invested along with the dims he’s bringing along. Hundreds of acres and miles of polution windmills and nasty solar panels will require ongoing maintenance/replacement at a cost of what? The windmill chokepoint would be a serious national security threat. Drill for oil now is the only real answer and let American ingenuity, government incentives and private funding take care of the rest.
“The windmill chokepoint would be a serious national security threat”
That is an excellent point!
Oil flows through underground pipelines, which makes it harder for our enemies to disrupt or bomb....but windmill and solar panel ‘stations’ would be like sitting ducks!
The billions of dollars of generators, windmills, and new transmission lines aren't going to do jack squat for actually making electrons when needed most.
It's like building a couple of very large generating plants (coal, gas, nuke, etc.) and turning them off for the summer. What good are they then?
I had dinner the other night with a couple of investment people. I learned that T. Boone Pickens doesn’t expect to make money on the wind towers themselves, but on WATER that he will transport along the same routes as the electricity, and also on other people’s land that will be expropriated by eminent domain in order to provide a route to bring the generated electricity to the cities.
At least so they said, and they usually know what they are talking about.
