Black Friday Madness & Abandoned Wind Turbines Now Litter America 1/2

(NaturalNews) 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."

lol so I fine if funny that you accuse wind turbines to have an "high maintenance cost". How wrong can someone get.

Alex , my friend, you have gotten fat.

Hi, I am C.J. Mella and I was looking for green products info and I found your group. As an expert, I want to know if you recommended this product that a friend sends me wwwideasforbetterebookscom/gre­en-products/ for someone like me who like it. Thank you!

@Aurinkohirvi People need first, information to wake up. Well it's not our people that really change things unless they rise up together against their leaders. Collectively, a hard thing to do. Because our leaders realize this, they can take advantage. I agree with you, but eventually, what is even more important is that the leaders wake up.. I think someone should do what Obama did, and place a big time counter,place it in the open for other leaders to see.Here's how long it took!

@luc59457

People need first information to wake up, and then a shock to act. Most people unfortunately aren't interested looking for the information by themselves. If you can show them undeniable evidence, they some of them do listen.

It takes usually a long time, before the slaves revolt. First them too, must learn their situation.

But he's not. Just because this system crumbles doesn't mean "there's no other way" There's no other alternative. If the price is right, there could very well be! It's like gas vs long range electric with advanced batteries! The initial costs are not always pretty but can pay off in the end.

I know how much Alex is treated like shit on here. Part of it is because of inaccurate information at times, the other part is too much information, I mean 7000 videos to get all the points accross? I think he can summarize it. LOL. Another part of it is that there's people working for and to keep the monetary system functioning because all other bodies in an economy rely on it. So those very people that keep it going, will fight the hardest to make people think he's crazy.
