My son and I took a trip last fall to Amarillo, Texas to visit my daughter (his sister) and her husband and son. The windmills we saw were in Oklahoma, but we saw a lot more in Texas. I noticed that the blades were turning very slow, and the windmills were quite a distance apart from each other.
I wasn’t talking about birds. Wind energy is several times more expensive/kWh than the same energy generated by either fossil fuel-driven or Nuke plants. And although nuke plants have high capital costs due to the cost of disposing of spent fuel, wind and solar have even higher costs /kWh due to materials used in manufacturing and disposing of materials after decommissioning. And then when you figure in the gov’t subsidies for “clean” energy sources, the cost to the consumer really skyrocket.
