Wind energy is one of the fastest growing and cheapest forms of electricity in the United States. The president-elect calls it “garbage.”

    I absolutely love that we built a wind farm off the coast of his golf club in Aberdeen and he’s been raging about it ever since.

      Wind power isn’t that good, it is far more complex than solar and isn’t as effective as nuclear.

      To get a usable electrical current out of one involves an overly complex electrical system that is far to prone to failures independent of quality of components.

      They could make them more viable through stabilizing their rotational output to a constant velocity, but that would depend on the wind always blowing so there was no run-up.

      While wind based electrical generation does reduce the affected surface area, compared to solar, we can better use the coverage of solar in strategic areas to use that negative as a positive. The real shame is NIMBYs wanting to keep solar farms that they will never see from areas they will never go.

      The future is nuclear/fusion with a distributed solar augmented grid, wind power has niche utility that should not be a cornerstone of our energy infrastructure.

    I’ve had it with these fucken spear-chuckin’ neanderthals. Go to your own fucken cave if you hate everything that doesnt make your rich buddies money.
