Why Wind Power Is Useless

[Deluge]

We've heard some of it before, but climate cultists pounce when truth makes its appearance.  

Renewable electricity, mostly wind power, is useless in every dimension. It is extremely expensive but is made to look cheap by hiding an 80% subsidy. It is an exorbitantly expensive method for reducing CO2 emissions. Industry lobbyists and sinister environmental organizations, like the Sierra Club, have manipulated public policy to milk taxpayers and electricity users for billions.

According to the Sierra Club, wind power electricity is economically viable without government assistance. This pronouncement of the Sierra Club has no relationship to reality. For the Sierra Club the most worrisome thing about wind power, something they avoid mentioning, is that the propellors kill birds...

Your fossil fuel industry funded site has NO CREDIBILITY.

Wind and solar are growing like gang busters and they are NOT BEING FUNDED by FOOLS LIKE YOU.

That's just silly. Who do you expect to believe this clap-trap? When government subsidies are given to greenie windmills and mirrors, we are all funding it.

Did you really not know that?

That site has more credibility than anything you cultists can produce. 

And I'm a tax payer, so yes I am funding that shit. You're a pervert and a liar. Go repent. 

Kill the entire industry, just like it says in that article.

The Dumbocrats are at it again who thinks using tons of land for something as unreliable as the wind to power the country is the answer.

Do you really not know that fossil fuels are being funded by US government subsidies? LMAO

Quote

Yes, the US government provides subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, with estimates ranging from over $16 billion to over $34 billion annually, according to reports from the Fossil Fuel Subsidy Tracker and Oil Change International. These subsidies come in various forms, including tax breaks, direct financial support, cheap access to public lands for drilling, and regulatory loopholes, notes Oil Change International. 

 

Types of subsidies

• Tax breaks: The fossil fuel industry receives various tax breaks from the government, notes Oil Change International.
• Access to public lands: Companies get cheap access to drill for oil, gas, and coal on federal and state lands, and these royalties are sometimes lower than market rates, says Oil Change International.
• Direct payments and loans: The government provides direct financial support and loans to the industry, says Environmental and Energy Study Institute.
• Regulatory support: This can include things like regulatory loopholes, and the government can use public money for cleanup of the industry's "mess," according to Oil Change International.
• Research and development funding: Some government funding goes to research and development for fossil fuel technologies, says Oil Change International. 

 

Subsidies vs. climate goals

• This support is happening even as the government makes commitments to address climate change, notes The Cool Down.
• The issue is a subject of debate, with some arguing that the federal government is supporting the fossil fuel industry at the expense of essential programs for working families, according to Oil Change International

Considering fossil fuels are the primary source of energy, why shouldn't the be subsidized?

You were wrong about subsidies.

You are wrong about fossil fuel subsidies. There is plenty of SCIENTIFIC REASON  to abandon fossil fuels.

Man you're some piece o' work.

Your own clips here prove my point. The US has been subsidizing windmills and mirrors. Trump is stopping that because it's asinine.

Do you really know two wrongs don't make a right? Fossil fuels have been around a lot longer than those bird killing monstrosities you cultists have been putting up, so they go first. Get it? 

Besides, whatever funding the government has been providing is necessary. 

Remember, stupid, you can't drive automobiles using sailboat fuel.

You never post any facts and 90% of your posts are you whining like a 4-year-old: Conservatives and anyone who thinks different from you weird names.

It's kind of a running joke.

Go look through this thread at all your posts, herbie.

All you've done is make snotty accusations, period.

You never even made a single attempt at stating any facts, so you're clearly 1) lying and 2) not contributing in an adult manner. IOTW, business as usual for a leftard.
