I guess the wind DOESN’T always blow, eh Comrade Clayton?

It sure didn’t blow today…or yesterday. Or the day before that. Wind is providing about half a gigawatt in a state that needs 74 gigawatts today – or about 0.6% of our needs…

Texas has roughly 13,000 pinwheels at a cost of about $3 million each. The annual upkeep on EACH of those is about $50,000 per year – or ANOTHER $650 million down the tube annually ($1.8 million per day).
Oh – and EACH pinwheel needs 30,000 TONS of cement for the foundation! What’s that work out to…like half a billion tons of cement, or something?
Did I mention the blades need replacing every 25 years and end up getting buried in landfills? How sustainable!

This is what happens when shitheads are in charge of a nation’s energy supply.
All of that is highly subsidized by the taxpayer – because “sustainable” energy cannot stand on its own two feet without massive government intervention.
