โ€œ If itโ€™s cheaper to put them in the land fillโ€

It is probably cheaper to ship them directly from the factory to the landfill, and avoid the additional losses incurred by installing and operating them.

Germany squandered billions on offshore wind farms.

They blow, as rational investments.

Essentially, instead of burning coal for energy, you burn large amounts of money instead. It is the energy equivalent of lighting your cigar with a burning hundred dollar bill, instead of a match.
