Wind energy makes up less than 20% of the power grid so why wind is getting all the blame is quite funny.
Wind farms average a 5 year pay off.
Wind farms receive subsidies, just like any other fuel/generation source.
Wind farms are also profitable enough that they are relying less on government subsidies every year.
Wind farms are not going anywhere
Now I’m not just taking up for wind because it makes my paycheck every week. The fact is, it works and it’s very profitable. It also creates THOUSANDS of very well paying jobs with significantly less down turns than oil and gas. Do I think it is the be all end all? Hell no. We NEED oil and gas. But alternatives are not a negative either.
