What a lot of hot air the wind industry's ideas are proving to be and yet they don't let up on their snake oil salesmanship and over and above they have the gall to criticize the Federal govt for cutting off some of the wind subsidies.
In areas where people have been adversely affected by these mostly useless turbines, some residents have had to take up the issue with their local judicial systems. The complaints range from effects to the landscape; killing bird life; increase in noise limits and worst of all a failure to deliver the required power during extreme cold spells. This has been another stupid idea from the Left being propped up by the Left, even after the uselessness is glaringly obvious. I am glad that the Harper government has taken a positive step in this area.
The Canadian Wind Energy Association is expressing disappointment with the federal government’s recent decision not to expand or extend the so-called ecoEnergy program — which delivered subsidies to renewable energy developers — in its new budget.
According to the association, the program has been a success, and without it, Canada’s ability to compete with American developers in the renewables sector is jeopardized.....

"The program has been a success", like in:
ReplyDeleteThousands of idle California turbines left to rust in the sun
Residents of Huron-Kinloss forced to abandon homes due to health problems caused by adjacent turbines
Turbines in Minnesota freezing up in extreme cold
UK turbines idle in extreme cold and calm
BP and Shell abandoning turbine development, as European countries reach ceiling on subsidy
Ont. promising 19 cents a kwh subsidy for wind development in Lake Erie
I wonder what failure would look like.
