No, it’s not. It is expensive beyond anything else, unreliable (the wind doesn’t always blow), and fully dependent on Government subsidies to make it even barely viable. Not to mention its deleterious effects on wildlife and plain ruination of many beautiful areas now blighted by eyesores.
Wind Power is a worthless waste. A green scam like all the rest.
I agree and when they break down or require a fix they usually just sit there and rust. Isn’t that the case often in California? How long to recoup 7 billion plus upkeep and labor and anything else and they never get out of the red. No sense at all.

And Texas, of all places is falling for such a scam that not only rips off the taxpayers of Texas, but cuts into the profits of oil and gas companies based in the Lone Star State.
How on earth, you have to wonder, did the Texas Legislature and Governor fall for the wind power scam?
And these wind mills just ruin the countryside — they’re butt ugly.
Four days ago Obama awarded the 7th LNG export permit. And because of Ukraine, many are calling to approve more/faster. Almost all new power plants being built are natural gas fired. More and more nat gas is being used for transportation.
If the price of nat gas goes up, coal, nukes, wind, solar become more competitive.
