"A New Study Takes The Wind Out Of Wind Energy"
I'm sure we all wish wind energy would be the answer; however, as the writer says, "facts are pesky things"...
Robert Bryce writes about it at Forbes.com:
"For years, it's been an article of faith among advocates of renewables that increased use of wind energy can provide a cost-effective method of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The reality: wind energy's carbon dioxide-cutting benefits are vastly overstated. Furthermore, if wind energy does help reduce carbon emissions, those reductions are too expensive to be used on any kind of scale.
Those are the findings of an exhaustive new study, released today, by Bentek Energy, a Colorado-based energy analytics firm."
