Wind Energy - did you notice the blip about the failed Spanish wind power industry during the Cap & Trade campaign? During the Cap & Tax fiasco this summer, opponents broke open the failure of a wind energy experiment in Spain. Wind energy was economically inviable and destroyed jobs. The findings were widely ignored and assumed implausible in the United States. Of course wind energy will work - our government will subsidize it!
BREAKING NEWS: the United States Department of Energy (DOE) tried to discredit the findings in Spain in order to propel the wind energy movement in America. Our Federal Government suppressed vital, real-life research regarding the viability of the wind industry. Jobs were killed in Spain. It cost more money and energy to make a turbine than it saves over a long period of time. So when it's finally in operation and all the costs are figured it out, it will take less energy to run than a stove straight on natural gas than on wind power. Ironic.
I used to work for a natural gas company, Infinite Energy Inc., based in Gainesville Florida. The company sells natural gas to municipalities for them to create electricity as well as the gas passing through to the end user. If electricity isn't made with natural gas, it's probably made with coal. The basic building block of any creation is energy. We can't build equipment for dams, nuclear plants or wind power without natural gas, petroleum or coal.
That's one of the ironic things about the green movement. Sure, the end product might be pure as day, but if it's more than a local thing, everything that is required to expand a product nationwide will gobble up energy and natural resources. What was the carbon footprint of the Copenhagen climate change shinnanigan?
