I'm a retired electrician myself who, back in the late 90's was involved in the electrical installation of dozens of 300 foot windmills in Eastern Oregon and the Columbia Gorge.

There is plenty of wind to generate the electricity, problem is....THERE IS NO DELIVERY METHOD OF SAID ELECTRICITY, UNTIL THEY CONSTRUCT MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF POWER LINES TO THE WINDMILLS AT ASTRONOMICAL COSTS.

So, as usual it's a big, cost ineffective GREEN SCAM.

This would be true for any new power generation plant. Granted in a way it is worse for windmills because they are not centralized.

Also windmills aren’t as nature friendly as they are cracked up to be. They kill birds including endangered ones. They make noise. Neither of which something like a nuke plant would do.

Please stop. Our dear leader has spoken.

I used to write, “the majority has voted” for reality defying programs, but now we can even dispense with that. President Obama desires it, so it must be true.
