There are many reason why wind projects can fall off the edge of the map. One is that people generally support these projects, until they are going to be build near where they live and/or can see them.

At one time I was a big supporter of wind power. I thought it was absurd that Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and others were blocking the Cape Wind Project. Then the reality of these projects started coming out. Expensive, low return on investment, low return on power, they only work during certain times, and, hey, […]

No, seriously, this is Thomas Freidman’s big idea From Putin, a Blessing in Disguise The Space Race and the technologies it produced weren’t purely an offshoot of the U.S.-Soviet missile competition, but they were certainly energized by that competition. Well, if we’re going to go at it again, this time I want an Earth Race. […]

Sounds like a great idea! (Daily Caller) An Obama administration official has said that the new clean coal rules could increase electricity prices by as much as 80 percent.

A nice bit of mental jujitsu, but Ted forgets that Keystone XL isn’t about environmentalism: it’s a cause celebre with the “climate change” cult, and they will not let go (especially as they drive their fossil fueled vehicles to the protests) (ABC News) If you love the environment, Sen.
