All the tax subsidies have expired and they are still putting up windmills.

Just a few month ago, Mid-America Holdings placed the largest order ever for wind turbines, and none of those will be subsidized.

On the other hand, there have been some recent events that draw attention to the externalized cost of coal that coal power plant owner or rate payer don't have to pay for. That is the health and environmental costs of coal that get socialized. Who is paying for that big coal chemical spill in Kentucky. The coal company ain't. Who's paying for the coal ash spill?

All these external costs of burning coal get socialized and you like it because you are a rightwing socialist.

Bull. LOL you are a fool to believe such lies. Show me the proof. If not for tax breaks no wind farm would go up. Tax breaks the world over are the only reason these monstrosities go up.

In a just society any company that damages the public should indeed be liable for all costs involved. I never implied otherwise. I believe in strict liability, not crony capitalism.

Right wing Socialist?? LOL Touched a nerve, did I? You are truly mentally challenged to come to that conclusion. LOL You are wound too tight. Then again, most masquerading leftists show their true hatred when their taxpayer supported fantasies are exposed for the frauds they are.

Please, seek professional help. I truly pity you. Please go and stay at the DUmp, the site of all those who hate capitalism and believe in the fantasy of a green paradise.

Ha, MidAmerican Energy, owned by Obama’s big buddy, Warren, the socialist Buffet. Buffet believes only in corrupt crony capitalism. He is behind killing the Keystone Pipeline. Buffet does not believe in true marketplace competiton.

A quick google search has the below snippet MidAmerican Energy

Federal policy and tax credits that help keep renewables on a level playing field with more mature electricity sources figure into MidAmerican’s strategy, according to Weisgall.

Again, none of these idiotic wind farms would exist without taxypayer provided subsidies. Buffet is the worse kind of crony capitalist.

Take your pathetic anti-Liberty, anti-Capitalist lies elsewhere.
