Wind power is a complete disaster

"Denmark, the world’s most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant. It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind power’s unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone)."

Denmark is a great example of the futility of these things, the country being the most wind powered of any nation.

Wind industry officials like to claim that no property values are lowered due to turbines dropping into a neighborhood, but that's just another lie in their endless list of talking points.

Denmark's national energy policy states that any property value lowered by more than 1% must have the owner of the property fully compensated by the installers of wind turbines.

Another ugly truth not breathed by the wind blowhards.
