Does Biden have to give his 10% back?

Several someones got rich, but guess who will end up footing the bill? Thanks to the people who vote in these idiots and will continue to do so.

If it could be proven commercially viable, they’d be doing it. It can’t; they won’t.

Gone like a fart in the wind...

Why does this give me hope...If a company can make better money doing something else...they'll come around....subsidies are NOT forever.

I think even Tesla will turn....cuz he likes to see people happy.

“In August, Nipper warned that the projects were facing headwinds.”

Ba-da bump.

It doesn’t matter what you do. What’s important is what you promise and who you pay.

Bob Blue. Dominion Energy. Are you listening?

Leave it to democrats to ruin a great energy company.

“This is a consequence of additional supplier delays further impacting the project schedule and leading to an additional significant project delay,” the company said.

What BS. It was a HUGE money loser from the get-go.

• Intermittent power.
• Extremely high priced power.
• High maintenance costs.
• Inhospitable salt water and hurricane environment.
• Long copper cables to collect the power.
• No way to store power.
• Kills marine life.
• Ruins ocean vistas.
• Short life.
• Need to build 3X more backup power on land.
• Produces prodigious amounts of non-recyclable waste that must be buried.

What's NOT to like about it?

One drive thru Palm Springs will shock just about anyone.
Oily, dirty wind towers everywhere.
No wonder property values in Palm Springs haven’t mirrored much of CA.

For many of the giant wind machines, the main mechanism must not freeze. When they are not turning, good ol hydrocarbons, oil and natural gas, are used to keep the mechanisms from freezing when the temperature drops. I have also read that if the wind is blowing too much, the giant windmills cannot handle the speed. So not only is there no power if the wind does not blow, there is no power if the wind blows too much.

I study archaeology. We used to joke about future archeologists finding the Golden Arches of McDonald’s. There are so many thousands (millions?) of McDonald’s, what will future investigators think of all those arches.

Perhaps when they dig up all the giant wind turbines, they will laugh at the ridiculousness of using 17th century technology when we have thousands of years of hydrocarbons under our feet. We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. Every other month there are ‘discoveries’ of vast new oil and natural gas deposits.

Last week, Germany's Siemens Energy crashed.

The crash came after the company warned its wind turbine business is grappling with quality issues and offshore ramp-up challenges.

“Last week”???

Siemens AG - that wind energy section of Siemens - crashed back in June 21-25 - losing about 1/3 of Siemens share price literally over a span of only two days.
