Wind Energy is a Failed Technology

Here is one of the most concise and informative articles we've seen to date.

Denmark and Spain are now withdrawing subsidies for wind energy, as it has proven to be expensive, inefficient and environmentally unsound. Onshore and offshore projects are being cancelled across Europe, even as big wind developers are looking to increase their stake in the U.S. to replace the lost business.

Wow! You do not know what you are doing.....those videos are propaganda funded by the coal and oil industry! The wind-watch website is funded by the nuclear power industry in europe. Renewable energy especially wind is are only way out of this global warming mess! Instead of being a voice for people and organisations that pollute the earth in the name of money, why don't you come up with a solution instead! If we don't do wind, our only other choice is nasty coal!

It's just a shame that the only response is written four time with the same gramatical errors!
The real issue is to remins annonymous that there are 5 kinds of renewables, some are more suited to different geographical areas.
If they would just take the time and do their own research, they would see that the current format used for industrial wind is more of a fossil fuel burden than a relief.
Wind is great, be sure, but not in it's current grid dependant format.
Plaese , open your eys and mind to reality

There are solutions other than coal, nuclear and/or industrial wind. Renewables are definitely the answer, but of the five renewable technologies, wind energy is the most expensive and least suited for northern New Mexico. Taos is "solar capitol of the world" for good reason. Meanwhile, the wind industry is the orphan child of deceased Enron, and the family resemblence is just too strong to ignore.
