“My response was and with libbies you have to be blunt. That is BS, Trump is cutting the EPA 30% and as far as Danielle, Trump has never mentioned windmills, Exelon shutting down or cutting down their windmill installations is a company decision.”

But federal subsidies are what keeps windmill companies in business. If wind energy was an effective solution that gave us a decent chunk of the electricity we need, it wouldn’t take a federal subsidy (and it’s freeloading attendant bureaucracy) to make it happen.
I look around here where I live and every school and public office building now has covered parking courtesy of the subsidized federal solar panel business. Sure would be nice if I could have the government erect a portico in my yard with solar panels on it giving me a shady place to park my cars, and “free” electricity.

u are exactly right, but I think there has been so much fed money pushing it that in some places the companies can grow without fed freebees.
Let’s face it coal is done. Natural gas has replaced it. Wind and Solar farms need infrastructure to deliver it to where it needs to be. If it’s profitable without freebees then so be it.
