I knew this was going to happen.
All this physical stuff requires maintenance, repair, periodic replacement of parts.
On top of not paying for itself, having to use power when there is not enough wind, to having to be shut down when it’s too windy. Brake failures that cause them to blow up.
Sad thing is that it was totally deliberate. Wasting taxpayer money on the worst forms of energy out there, that also cost the most to gather. Incredibly high cost for very low energy return. Instead of sinking it into better coal plants, or new safer almost impossible meltdown nuclear plant designs (pebble bed reactors).
Plus on top of it they make a lot of noise and the shadow issue is huge for people who live close to them, and they’ve been killing birds and bats like nuts.
It’s on purpose. To waste our money on stuff that costs a ton of money that we’ll not get any use out of. So we’ll be even more dependent on foreign sources. And also to burn the money away so it’s not spent on real energy solutions that do work, like better coal and nuclear plants.
Totally deliberate. Totally.

"If an honest history is written about the turn of the 21st century, it will include a large, harsh chapter on how fears about global warming were overplayed for profit by corporationsLeftist, Marxist, Politicians." pandering to Leftist Corporate opportunists. The politicians made this green crap opportunity for taxpayer pillage by salivating Leftist contributers whom are all sitting back with wads of cash in their pockets today at the expense of the taxpayers, and the environment as bats, and birds, and the American landscape continue to suffer the loss of what was. WE been ripped off.

JT Council Addresses CM Energies Criminal Investigation
October 20, 2011
In a specially called meeting this morning, the Jonestown City Council addressed a single agenda item: a $2 million wind energy grant that is the focus of an ongoing criminal investigation.
After convening at 9 a.m., the council went almost immediately into executive session to, according to the agenda, consult with the city attorney concerning a grant application involving CM Energies, the city of Jonestown and $2 million in federal funds. Based on legal considerations, the executive session was not attended by either Mayor Deane Armstrong or Alderman Lance Wedell.
After an hour and a half, Mayor Armstrong called the meeting back into public session. Alderman Bill Nichols then read a statement, prefacing it with a comment that, due to the ongoing criminal investigation, no further remarks would be made today by the council.
Nichols’ statement was as follows: “The city will continue to fully cooperate with federal, state and county investigators on all points associated with this issue. The Council will initiate an internal review of the administration of this grant. There will be a discussion item on the agenda for the next regular meeting of the City Council. The Council will also address employee comments and actions at the appropriate time, when all information is available to the Council.”

The archive of MAJOR FAIL grows larger and larger,
and of course the MSM will only touch on stories like
this glancingly, if at all.
No one really feels it yet of course, because it’s all hidden within the muffled ticking of the time bomb known as DEBT-—makes one almost feel sympathetic for any nation who decides to back out of their financial involvement with us.

Connected political scum ran away with billions of taxpayer dollars.
So what's new?
This kind of theft is still going on every day (Solyndra) and Democrats still get reelected by the parasites and morons who comprise the party "base". (shrug) That's just the way it is, and if you are not looking for every conceivable angle to get back whatever you can from scumbag government, then shame on you. It's a war for your money, and you either fight or close your eyes and grab your ankles.

Don’t care what it is ... if it takes a subsidy to do it, then it isn’t worth doing because the cost is too high. Whether it is energy, farming, educating, or whatever, the cost is too high!

Artificial markets only live as long as they are propped up.
Take away the gubbermint cheese, and they implode, like most of the nations recycling or public transit programs would were it not for a government using the tax collector to take from the productive to keep the dead alive.
However, Margret Thatcher put it best. “Eventually you run out of other peoples money,” and then like the Soviet Union, Greece, or the US eventually (even if we ignore it now the day of reckoning will come) the tower of BullShit will implode on itself.

On a recent drive down I55 in Illinois, there were fields of windmills as far as the eye could see. I commented that in about 10 years, they will be fields of rusting hulks.....

Thousands of abandoned wind turbines littered the landscape of wind energy's California 'big three' locations which include Altamont Pass, Tehachapin and San Gorgonio, considered among the world's best wind sites I always thought those big fans in the Altamont Pass were put there to blow the AIDS virus back into San Francisco.
