<p> Its been shown that the true cost to produce wind energy electricity is about 18 cents a kilowatt hour. Conventional generation is running between 2.5 to around 3 cent to produce a kilowatt hour. The difference is your true cost for"free, clean, environmentally safe" green energy. In addition there is no proof what so ever that wind energy reduces CO2 emissions. Each wind turbine must operate around 15 years just to pay back the CO2 released during its manufacturing and construction.…</p>

It Continues That The "CARPET BAGGERS" wind Power Industry-Are Going to Spread To ALL Parts of the Country-As long as the FEDERAL government is AIDING and ABETTING Them! In New England There is a Ready Supply of NATURAL Gas Available and there is enough to last 100's of years!

As long as BIG BROTHER In Washington STILL thinks that WIND Power is The Answer to use of FOSSIL FUels- The Wind Power Carpet Baggers are going to Proliferate!-ESPECIALLY If its Proven they can make a LOT Of Money!!</p>

<p> Accusing anti-wind activist of working or the fossil fuel industry is a standard smear tactic of those pushing alternative energy. Everyone who drives a car hates the oil industry. I'm not pro oil. T. Boone Pickens was the oil man who was trying to build a wind farm in my community. The oil industry is one of the big supporters of wind energy. WHY ??? Because wind doesn,t cut into oil profits. Wind being mandated and expensive drives up the cost o all energy. People like T. Boone…</p>
