There are over 18,000 abandoned windmills in the US, abandoned as soon as the tax right offs expire.

Right on, Jim!  Windmills are a curse, imposed by liberal jackasses, with which we'll be living for years into the future.  Windmills are anathema.  They are an abomination.

Didn't take long for someone to try to steer the discussion away from the facts, did it?

No your facts are fine, it's that I just don't care.

The day I accept facts from Reuters is the day I let the CBO balance my checkbook.

@ Ragnar Repo:

Yeah, and ditto for Stanford, right? ...and the PDEP?

They're all hacks, but hey, you don't care anyway, right?

No, not if you accept the first search result as a credible source.

Dan,

Actually I was surfing archeological sites when I came upon the article about this windmill. It pays to not make assumptions in life Dan, which hopefully some day you will understand as you become older.

I just thought that some balance in the "news" reporting here on GMS was needed.

I blew nothing out of proportion on this article like the anti's do here, just the facts. So why do you embellish your statements with rhetoric?

Windmills have their place (not many) but fossil fuels are the prime time go to in energy production.

Where the source of our energy comes from in the future can not be dictated be edict as many believe.

Oh btw, calling this windmill failure insignificant in the US is preposterous at best.

I also recognize that the O+G industry isn't an angel either.

I give all comers a fair shake, how about you?
