The UK installed the largest wind farm in the world in the North Sea where the wind blow more that almost anywhere else in the world. They are already starting to fail on the concrete bases and the government has decided not to repair them. As they fail, they will be sold for scrap. Had all of this money been spent on research, then maybe we would be further along in our search for cheap dependable energy. A simple question for those who have not taken the time to research wind and solar is, "If these make such great economic sense and are such a great deal, how come they are not on every roof top?"
Where do you get this information? You seem to make a lot of claims but never give citations.
I posted a message a couple weeks ago about how Germany had produced half their electric power for a whole weekend from windpower, and that windpower was flourishing in Germany.
I am in favor of alternative energy for a very selfish reason: it will relieve some of the upward pressure on petrol prices for my RV fuel. As a bonus, it will reduce the despoilment of the beautiful American countryside and the air we breath, which I believe any loyal American should cherish.
