I live out here in West Texas, and live next to the world’s largest Wind Ranch (NOT farms ;) ).
We rather like them out here. They’re actually quite fascinating and majestic. We really don’t care how many buzzards they kill. We especially like “wind rights”, much like mineral rights, which means we get paid for something we usually call a necessary annoyance - West Texas wind.
Infrastructure? Bring it. They’re aint much else out here.
Its provided us with another “oil boom” if you will, and we don’t have to worry about it running out;)
Is it a cure-all? Not by any means. But we are a perfect place for Wind energy.
They aren’t worth anything unless they can survive without government subsidies. Wind power is inefficient and who knows how often the silly equipment will have to be replaced? If this were worth the cost, the private sector would invest in it.
Wind power is just another gov’t boondoggle.
