Take the subsidies away and see how many remain. Probably 2%.
“Take the subsidies away and see how many remain. Probably 2%.”
Bingo.
There is supposed to a “rainy day” fund in Austin that is to pay for the destruction and removal of these turbines when (not if) the subsidies run out and they inevitably go dormant. Right. All of the ranches that have accepted these disasters, ruining their wildlife populations in the process, will be stuck with them in a decade or so. Also, transmission lines are running years behind windmill construction so a good percentage of them are spinning aimlessly and generating nothing other than an eyesore.
Thanks again, George W.
