National Review Online published the article Let's Be Gone with the Wind today.
An excerpt:
"National President Obama likes to talk about making sure “the biggest corporations pay their fair share.” Treasury secretary Tim Geithner calls for tax reform to close loopholes and subsidies. Budget hawks say federal spending must be curbed. Congress and federal environmental regulators claim they are doing everything they can to save endangered species. By doing nothing and waiting for December 31 to pass, all of those folks could strike a blow in support of each of these policies. All they have to do is let the federal production tax credit (PTC) for wind energy expire on schedule this coming Monday."
Wind Victims Ontario:
For a depressing yet very informative read, check out the site Wind Victims Ontario. It has personal testimonies from people who live near turbines in Canada. It also has case studies, health research articles, videos, expert testimony, and more resources.
On a personal note, I drove into Gratiot County a few times over the holidays, where there are wind turbines as far as the eye can see. They've even built more since I was there last time. Knowing what I know about them, it's chilling to see them. Money wasting, an inefficient way of producing energy, wildlife killers, hazardous to human health, disrupting communities, and today ... not even one of them moving.
