Alternate Energy at Any Cost?


The government has been sponsoring what it calls clean, alternative energy. So it is going full steam ahead in its attempt to achieve “green” sources at any cost. Despite the fact we are in the midst of a stagnant economy when industry cannot afford added costs that subtract directly from economic growth.

Apart from the damage of the mad dash for high-cost, taxpayer-subsidized alternate energy, there are social burdens. Such as the fact the commercial windmills used for energy make lots of noise. So much noise that folks living near them find them unbearable? Any residence has to be well over a mile away.

And that thousands of birds are often killed in recurring incidents. And then you have the landscape eyesore. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
