Yesterday, liberal Demoncrat Senator Michael Bennet decided to play his green card. He partnered with a RINO from Kansas and introduced a measure that would extend the wind energy credits that are needed to keep Vestas afloat. After all, Vestas is a great, green energy company. Right? Wrong!
According to Vestas itself, the waste generated from the production of each blade is nasty, toxic stuff. It never decomposes. Never! According to inside reports the Windsor plant produces about 40 blades each week. Each blade produces approximately one ton of waste that is taken to landfills around Northern Colorado. Forty tons of waste is dumped in our area weekly, by this so-called green company. What is in it? Fiberglass resin, hardened resins of other kinds, epoxy, glues, hardners, vinyl, plastic, etc. And it never decomposes!
So when Senator Bennet proposes the tax credit be pushed through, he looks green. But Vestas isn't green at all. It makes Bennet and Vestas and Obama look good. In the meantime, who pays for this huge taxpayer subsidy for these jobs? You do! Who endorses the landfill disposal of this eternal trash? You do. Who looks the other way when the flight paths of various birds run directly through these wind farms, killing thousands of birds annually? You do. Congratulations. This is what happens when the government subsidizes and controls business. It looks green, but you get the trash. (Link here to Vestas data.)
Good article. Factor in all the traffic jams during delivery.
Liek I said before, are we really sure these things ever produce a net energy gain? They probally rust before they make up for the damage they have caused. But hey,the only thing more evil than oil is a Muslim. Supposedly.
Just the magnets are a tragedy although that hurts China,our largest trade partner. Read below.
