From Diana-Unintended Consequences of Alternate Energy
I have a story of a rancher in WYO that has been on the same ranch since 1880's . Every summer in July a monsoon season would come through and provide water to grow thr grass for grazing.
In 2010 a WIND Farm was established 60 miles to the south west. Ever since that wind farm has been in operation there has been NO monsoon event in the area of Saratoga, WYO. Not all is as advertised.
14,000 ABANDONED WIND TURBINES LITTER THE UNITED STATES
The towering symbols of a fading religion, over 14,000 wind turbines, abandoned, rusting, slowly decaying. When it is time to clean up after a failed idea, no green environmentalists are to be found. Wind was free, natural, harnessing Earth’s bounty for the benefit of all mankind, sounded like a good idea. Wind turbines, like solar panels, break down. They produce less energy before they break down than the energy it took to make them. The wind does not blow all the time, or even most of the time. When it is not blowing, they require full-time backup from conventional power plants.
Without government subsidy, they are unaffordable. With governments facing financial troubles, the subsidies are unaffordable. It was a nice dream, a very expensive dream, but it didn’t work.
California had the “big three” of wind farm locations — Altamont Pass, Tehachapi, and San Gorgonio, considered the world’s best wind sites. California’s wind farms, almost 80% of the world’s wind generation capacity ceased to generate even more quickly than Kamaoa Wind Farm in Hawaii. There are five other abandoned wind farms in Hawaii. When they are abandoned, getting the turbines removed is a major problem. They are highly unsightly, and they are huge, and that’s a lot of material to get rid of.
Unfortunately the same areas that are good for siting wind farms are a natural pass for migrating birds. Altamont’s turbines have been shut down four months out of every year for migrating birds after environmentalists filed suit. According to the Golden Gate Audubon Society 75-110 Golden Eagles, 380 Burrowing Owls, 300 Red-Tailed Hawks and 333 American Kestrels are k**led by the turbines every year. An Alameda County Community Development Agency study points to 10,000 annual bird deaths from Altamont wind turbines. The Audubon Society makes up numbers like the EPA, but there’s a reason why they call them bird Cuisinarts.
Palm Springs has enacted an ordinance requiring their removal from San Gorgonio Pass, but unless something else changes abandoned turbines will remain a rotting eyesores, or the taxpayers who have already paid through the nose for overpriced energy and crony-capitalist tax s**ms will have to foot the bill for their removal.
President Obama’s offshore wind farms will be far more expensive than those sited in California’s ideal wind locations. Salt water is far more damaging than sun and rain, and offshore turbines don’t last as long. But nice tax s**ms for his crony-capitalist backers will work well as long as he can blame it all on saving the planet.

Wind generators have a very limited life span (about 15 years I have heard). The entire energy used to manufacture them and dismantle them is probably greater than the electricity that they generated in their entire lifetime!!! They were never an option for base-load power for industry anyway! Still - they kept a lot people in employment in China, while they were “flavour of the month” .......................................in China!!!
A 10 kW wind turbine costs approximately $48,000 – 65,000 to install. The equipment cost is about $40,000 (see 10 kW GridTek System ) and the rest is shipping and installation. Towers without guy wires are more expensive than guyed towers. That depends on your cost of electricity and average wind speed. The costs for a utility scale wind turbine range from about $1.3 million to $2.2 million per MW of nameplate capacity installed. Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed.

ROSWELL NEW MEXICO - 1947-1948
The year was 1947. Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947 numerous witnesses claim that an Unidentified Flying Object, (UFO), with five aliens aboard, crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered-up by the U.S. Air Force, as well as other Federal Agencies and Organizations.
However, what you may not know is that in the month of April, 1948, nine months after the historic day, the following people were born:
Barrack Obama Sr.
Albert A. Gore Jr.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
William Jefferson Clinton
John F. Kerry
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
Joe Biden.
This is the obvious consequence of aliens breeding with sheep and jack-asses. I truly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things. And now we can stop wondering why they support helping I*****l A***ns.

To the American People,
Although I am English born, Australian bred and now a New Zealand resident, I have followed the e******n of your president Donald J. Trump with great interest.
It is true that I quickly jumped on the Trump train and gave as much support for him from afar and at a cost. I lost so called friends who could not accept that I had a different viewpoint. I have been ridiculed, called names and verbally abused however, no amount of abuse as going to change my view that Mr Trump was/is the right choice. It was also suggested that I should mind my own business as I am not American. Well it is my business because a strong America also makes a safer world and I am part of the world.
What I can not get my head around is the liberal/democrat thinking that America should NOT protect its borders or its people. They think it is ok to harbour illegal criminal immigrants who murder, rape and steal. They believe that protesters who become r****rs destroying property and beating up people are righteous and your veterans, many who have given their lives for your freedoms deserve nothing.
President Trump gave an amazing speech, reaching out to the democrats to help make America great again yet they sat there defiantly turning their backs to safe cities, more jobs, better health care and could NOT show respect for a woman whose husband was k**led fighting for your country.
Probably for the first time, you have a president who is doing exactly what he promised and yet people are upset by that.
I shake my head in disbelief.
As time goes by and Trump’s promises are fulfilled I hope those that do not like Trump will get their heads out of their asses and at least let him do the job he was elected to do.
