Not only Austin, but here. See my post#36, 37...
Green energy is just another feel good rip-off of the taxpayer.
I predict within 20 years most of these ridiculous wind farms will be taken down. Even with the taxpayer subsidies, the life-cycle maintenance costs will doom them. More and more people will wake up to the scam.
I’m a hydro pimp myself.
If you want to go green, go green that actually works by re powering some of the thousands of existing dams in this country. Modern retrofits are expensive but the operational lifespans are many times that of windmills and the water flows every day all day. Not to mention the high value lake front property plus revenue generated by boating and fishing.
