Out of Thin Air

I am really astounded by the public's apparent ignorance about "wind energy".

We all experience sunshine and wind but few of us bother to examine the "quality" of that sunshine and wind. Obviously wind turbines only spin and generate electricity when the wind is blowing. Accordingly, solar panels only generate electricity when the sun is shining on them. In order for these technologies to be economically viable you have to have a lot of wind and/or a lot of sunshine.

Once these wind farms clutter up a skyline, more and more people will lose interest. Solar power is even more inefficient except in a very few locations. Even in the best locations solar arrays require a lot of real estate and unless built on top of an existing structure, they destroy or certainly change the ecosystem beneath them.

Only a fool would believe that government subsidy will create thousands of sustainable long-term jobs and significantly supplement our future energy needs out of thin air.
