‘Green’ debacle: Tens of thousands of abandoned wind turbines now litter
American landscape

Literal beacons of the “green” energy movement, giant wind turbines
have been one of the renewable energy sources of choice for the US
government, which has spent billions of taxpayer dollars subsidizing
their construction and use across the country. But high maintenance
costs, high rates of failure, and fluctuating weather conditions
that affect energy production render wind turbines expensive and
inefficient, which is why more than 14,000 of them have since been
abandoned.
Before government subsidies for the giant metals were cut or eliminated
in many areas, wind farms were an energy boom business. But in the
post-tax subsidy era, the costs of maintaining and operating wind
turbines far outweighs the minimal power they generate in many areas,
which has left a patchwork of wind turbine graveyards in many of the
most popular wind farming areas of the US.
“Thousands of abandoned wind turbines littered the landscape of wind
energy’s California ‘big three’ locations which include Altamont Pass,
Tehachapin and San Gorgonio, considered among the world’s best wind sites,”
writes Andrew Walden of the American Thinker. “In the best wind spots on
earth, over 14,000 turbines were simply abandoned. Spinning, post-industrial
junk which generates nothing but bird kills.”
Walden speaks, of course, about the birds, bats, and other air creatures
that routinely get tangled in and killed by wind turbine propellers. And
as far as the “post-industrial junk” language, well, if it costs too much
to run the machines in the first place, then it definitely costs too much
to uproot and remove them post-construction.
This whole wind energy mess just further illustrates how the American
people have been played by their elected officials who bought into the
“global warming” hysteria that spawned the push for wind energy in the
first place. And now that the renewable energy tax subsidies are gradually
coming to an end in some places, the true financial and economic viability,
or lack of wind energy, is on display for the world to see.
“It is all about the tax subsidies,” writes Don Surber of the Charleston
Daily Mail. “The blades churn until the money runs out. If an honest history
is written about the turn of the 21st century, it will include a large,
harsh chapter on how fears about global warming were overplayed for profit
by corporations.”
