Well at least from the power producer standpoint the truth is out on wind energy production, which I am certain has the same government subsidy as other forms of alternative energy. Wind can only be a backup or "alternative" due to its inefficiencies. It doesn't blow all the time. Seems to me it is 35 percent inefficient right out of the box at the point the wind blows, then throw in all the little stuff that the utopians want to overlook, and you have a horribly inefficient system that no one could would or should invest in if it wasn't being paid for by OPM. OPM is a myth, it is never just OPM it's everyones dollars, including the wealth and health of the government the people and the nation itself, and we let congress spend it like there is no tomorrow, and with precious little oversight, all at the whim of folks who think science is making stink bombs in high school.

Why do you use the term inefficient when you mean intermittent? Why are you so offended by a few million dollars in subsidy for wind power but care so little about the subsidies for all other forms of "conventional" power. The latest one I read about is 35 billion dollars for Black Lung benefits? Does this register with you at all?
