The sad truth about wind farms;

1) wind energy isn’t free - it raises electric rates.

2) wind energy requires 100% backup.

3) The governments we elect are raising our electric rates through mandated green energy.

4) This waste is another example of spraying money outside the economic engine then wondering why it doesn’t produce more power.

There is a stunning amount of people that can’t rationally comprehend this - or understand anything else that means using reason and logic.

Funny thing is when demand is highest on the HOTTEST and COLDEST days, the wind blows least. In December in Scotland, they had to import French nuclear generated electricity because their windmills were all frozen up and generating a whole 3% of stated capacity.
