From the article: Southwestern Ontario’s flourishing wind energy industry came under fire Wednesday from the co-founder of Greenpeace.
Dr. Patrick Moore told more than 1,000 area farmers the industry destroys more jobs than it creates, and causes energy prices to climb for all users.
“The industry is a destroyer of wealth and negative to the economy,’’ said Moore, speaking at the 19th annual Southwest Agricultural Conference at Ridgetown campus of the University of Guelph.
Moore, who now refers to himself as the “sensible environmentalist,’’ said the solar bubble has burst and thinks the wind bubble is about to burst.
Was driving through West Texas at night during the holidays. Somewhere out there as far as the eye could see a sea of red lights was blinking off and on - felt like we were in the middle of a Star Trek area. Turns out there is a HUGE wind farm area. Very, very scary area. Shocks me how many things are going on in our state that we have no clue about.
You have to read the article to see who said it. Notice that the title doesn’t tell you.
Note this is Chatham, ENGLAND.
There is a small wind farm near Mount Wachusett, MA. I fly over it almost every day. The vanes almost never move. It just sits there, motionless, a monument to Massachusetts Liberals feeling good about themselves by using your tax money. Of course, none of the Liberals can actually SEE it, since it is 40 miles away from Boston.
Wind energy makes sense where it’s windy. If you put a wind farm where it’s not windy, just to make you feel good, it’s expensive.
My property is my property, and I have a right to use it. “Property values” is no excuse for trying to violate property rights.

66 percent of Tea Party members would agree with having wind turbines near their homes (Saint Consulting Group, poll of 1,000 in US, June, 2011). 73 percent of men agreed but far fewer women.

Hundreds of slow-turning wind-mills as far as the eye could see....stretching for miles south and east from the cement ribbon of Rte. 59 which cuts through the area.
I felt I was in a Twilight Zone segment....no people or animals to be seen, a few incongruous farm houses dotting the bland landscape here and there, no birds flying around. I sensed an eerie, unseen pall over the whole scenario and a disquietude within myself viewing this mechanical parade of robot-looking behemoths marching over the horizon like metal Godzillas.
All I could think of as I viewed the endless multiplication of the silent unblinking steel structures was that it was like a Salvador Dali landscape, not in looks but in feel and aura.
Anyone who's a student of Dali will know what I mean.

Your reason for not posting the article is?
Coal, natural gas, hydrocarbons, nuclear, hydro, etc. all share the stored power attribute.
Any power source without this attribute will never be successful in a capitalist society.
Just had a thought - I suppose this means the Chevy Volt will be successful :)
