I've been known to support the wind energy tax credit. Perhaps I shouldn't and perhaps wind should stand on it's own.. then again farmers shouldn't get subsidies to not farm and neither should big oil.... either remove them all or I'll keep supporting the wind energy tax credit. I support wind. Most people who've never driven through the great plains can't appreciate just how windy it is out here, and nobody cares or thinks they detract from the landscape.. they're in the middle of farm country.

If it's free market let it all rip....I don't care. I know the normal tree huggers don't like the noise of windmills......just like jet engines it's "not in my backyard" and the birds don't like them either.....lol

Do you talk to people in the country???Because everyone I know thinks they suck... Even guys making money from wind leases The only people making money off wind are the developers....The rate payers sure don't!

GE is making money, as they make wind turbines, and do some other companies. I dislike wind turbines for many reason. They are expensive to buy, own, operate, and maintain.

I did not include the manufactures. You are correct sir. You are also correct they are indeed expensive to own, operate and maintain. The only time we don't lose money on wind is when it doesn't blow........
You know why liberals fell in love with renewables, don't you? There was a time, before the Dems became the favorite of big business, Big Oil was one of the biggest donors to the Republican party. Republicans had to be defunded. Same goes for Big Tobacco. Renewables are also much more under government thumb. You can't name one renewable company that anyone has heard of. Exxon and Mobile? Well...

Remove them all!
By the way, wind farms are known to change how the wind blows which has a huge impact on the ecosystem because so many living beings depend on how the air flows. The larger the farm, the bigger the impact, sometimes devastating.
I'm fine with them as long as I'm not forced to subsidize them through taxes. If those technologies prevail through the free market, I see no reason to stop them.
So, you're OK with the huge breaks that fossil fuels receive?
