Company diversity does not apply to public electrical utilities, they only have one product … electricity. The customer pays for any inefficiencies in the generation and distribution of that product. And just because the customer pays his bill, it does not mean that the inefficiency doesn’t matter. Therefore, my point stands. A solution is not a viable solution if it is not cost effective.
I guess he’s a little irritated that Donald Trump said that the noise from the wind turbines cause cancer. But, as the governor of Iowa, who would not comment specifically on Trump’s comments said, “One year coffee is good for you and the next year coffee causes cancer.”
Is that power produced by wind, or power actuality used by consumers. I mean who cares if a windmill spins out tons of current at 3 am when no one is around to use it, right.
or Perhaps he’s worried about losing a fed subsidy?
Why shouldn’t I look at the senator motivations for making such statements? And perhaps the senator is getting money from wind companies. Which is why I asked real questions about the industry.
Certainly not directly, but Does the noise and vibration cause stress to local populations? Did you look into it at all, or just go with what CNN says?
Regardless of Big Wind pulling Grassley’s strings, the sound of wind turbines does not cause cancer. Would you rather be locked in a garage with a pile of burning coal, or a running box fan?
