Wind energy is not sustainable and is expensive. When the wind isn't blowing, oil is still pumping. Wind energy won't keep you warm at night, fossil fuels will. There is not enough wind in the world to power America alone.Waco1947 said:

His administration approved $28M for Wind Energy R&D this year.Waco1947 said:

It's true.Waco1947 said:
Property values will plummet. (Unlikely.)
At the same dinner, Mr. Trump made this claim: "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value."
They have killed many Eagles & Hawks and it's worse overseas. Hard to have it both ways, they fight for Wind Power but also fight for the animals.geewago said:
I read an article written by a Democrat who was highly opposed to wind generators because they kill thousands of bats every night as they fly by and hit the big spinning blades. But I have a friend in Sweetwater that works around them every day and he says he's never seen a dead bat laying around that he can recall. The environmentalist are something else. They told me in 85 that the ocean would rise 2 to 3 feet by 2010. I was sure I would lose my cabin in Rockport but lo and behold the water hasn't risen even an inch. It actually appears to have dropped a tad down there. Some of those same wise guys are now saying it will be 2120 before the coastal towns are covered up.

Furthermore, how many planes, trains and motor vehicles can you power with wind or for that matter solar as well?Justin Kates said:Wind energy is not sustainable and is expensive.

If it comes down to oil or wind, give me oil all day long. Green is a utopian dream.

It's not that people are opposed to the development of alternative sources of energy to the extent they can reasonably be expected to be of benefit, but regardless of who this upsets, the fact of the matter is fossil fuels power our economy and the world economy and that isn't going to change for the foreseeable future unless we're all willing to return to living in the 19th Century which we obviously aren't. Alternative energy sources are nowhere near ready to "take over" for fossil fuels and they aren't going to be developed enough to do so within any of our lifetimes no matter how much money and resources we throw at them.
and waves?Justin Kates said:
Except on cloudy or calm days. It's not possible amigo. Gotta have oil.

I like the wind turbines....they're made partially of petroleum products and use lube oil and gear oil; they'll never ever replace oil and gas.
During my Exxon days I worked on a project for these. They are taken down for maintenance every 12-18 months and the lube oil and gear oil are replaced. That's a very special and expensive blend.
