On the good side, it will pay for itself in less than 6 thousand years.

“They were also meant to educate folks about wind power,” she said.

Mission accomplished.

I'd say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED there! People are sure learning how un-economical wind power is!

ROFL! Teach people that wind power is a ridiculous un-economic boondoggle? Teach people that libtard morons push this crap on all of us so they can "feel good" about themselves while the public pays? Teach people that politicians who push this stuff don't know WTF they are doing?

Wind power is not exactly new. Competing with gas and coal is new.

Here’s a 3.5 kw diesel generator for $5,700.

And it’s a Kubota. It will be running when the wind tower has fallen silent.

My good friend is the city Finance Director and I’m sure he gave the city council a cost/benefit analysis prior to their decision to construct the system.

The turbines will power the 31 lights that illuminate the park,

At over $100K a piece X3 just to light lights, those are some expensive lights..............

City Councilwoman Sissi Bruch said last week the turbines were intended to do more than generate electricity.

“They were also meant to educate folks about wind power,” she said.

But Bruch regretted joining the council’s unanimous decision in 2015 to approve the purchase.

“These are not giving us the quantity of energy that we would use, that we would want,” she said.

“I did not realize they would produce so little energy. I wouldn’t have voted for it knowing it was that little.

...

The turbines will illuminate the park with safety lighting for about $1.25 a month of the $1.50 that will be generated, putting the remaining 25 cents of power back into the BPA grid, which the city will get paid for, Shere said.


Liberals and other peoples’ money. Always a recipe for disaster.

Shere said they are expected to generate $1.50 worth of electricity a month, based on current retail Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) rates.

City Councilwoman Sissi Bruch said last week the turbines were intended to do more than generate electricity.

“They were also meant to educate folks about wind power,” she said.

Too bad the city council didn't get educated on wind power by this farce. But, who cares? It's only taxpayer money - not like anyone* had to work for it.

*By anyone I mean anyone in government. Peasants don't count.

In Texas, windmills produce 11% of the electricity consumed in the state.

They are certainty an education as prime example of the government's fraud, waste and abuse.
