Elio Wiping Out Tesla!

Many of these are made just north of where I live. I can assure you that many wind farms are still being built to this day. Especially here in ND, the windiest state in the nation.

I'm sure that they are being placed and assembled there. Unfortunately most of the components are built in South America, India, and China. I still see them rolling westbound on I10 near Junction, TX.

Nonsense. Google Innergex and actually learn about alternate power. No gov money ever. No tax breaks. US made by GE turbines, blades, concrete, steel, fabrication, engineering. Profitable from day one. @6% dividend today. Parent Co chartered in 1775.

According to the DOE (2013 stats), 72% of the turbines/components used on USA Wind Farms are actually built in the USA and with the recent cut in wind power subsidies many of those tubines/components are being exported. Apparently we can be competive in the renewable energy market place.

Please don't take this as a personal attack, because I do value your contributions here. But, you're OK with everyone "peeing in the pool" as long as they don't stand next to you?

"peeing in YOUR pool!!!" makes all the difference

I am fairly certain there are more turbines out in western ND then there are oil rigs. Only difference is oil brings in billions of dollars into our state in tax income.

satx,
You need to stop doing partial quotes. It is dishonest. Like San Antonio politics.
It is also offensive.

I quote the text I'm responding to. Police somebody else.

If you respond to what I write, don't be dishonest. Quote the whole thing.

Got a URL? I'd like to read that. It sounds interesting.

Other difference: wind power doesn't pollute. Oil does.

......"Those things which are verbally true may be factually inaccurate"......... (a former AT&T vice president)

It cost pollution to build the wind turbines.
It cost pollution to transport the wind turbines.
It cost pollution to erect the wind turbines.
It cost pollution to build the high voltage power line towers.
It cost pollution to clear cut miles and miles of right of way to put up the high voltage power lines.
It cost carbon sink capacity of the clear cut areas.

Much as we all wish for it, there is no such thing as free lunch.
