Demoncratic Senator Michael Bennet will come to Windsor to push for Federal handouts. He wants the wind energy credits to be continued, giving more money to companies like Vestas out of your wallets, so that other competing companies may be hindered in the process. Such is the liberal viewpoint of free market economics.
Hopefully Bennet will show up today, when the gale-force winds are at full strength. Today is a day that shuts down the turbines because of the overly-exuberant nature of...mother nature. They don't work well on days like this. But then again, neither does big-government. It should be a perfect fit. There will be a photo opportunity, a news story, a time to gather data for a speech on the floor of the Senate in D.C., and a good time will be had by all. Except you. You will pay for every dime of it.
Should subsidies continue for wind energy? No. Solar? Absolutely not. How about oil and gas? Nope. Coal? No. The markets must be unshackled from government again. But in the meantime, Vestas (and Windsor) is the big winner in Democratic politics today. Batten down the hatches. The handouts can't last forever.
