Yesterday while driving along I-20 between Abilene and Big Spring TX There was hundreds of windmills you could see from the road. No telling how many just a few miles off the road I couldn't see. There was about 10% mot working. Questions: How much electricity do these make? Probably not much. When I pass by electric plants powered by coal, neucular (SP) , gas or what ever I see power lines leaving the plant in all directions to deliver the current. Yesterday I didn't see any power lines leaving the area to deliver the current. Do they make such a small amount it is carried away on the smaller wires?. How expensive are the windmills? Whatever, multiply that by the number I saw and I'm sure you could build a electric plant that would make more current than these windmills. At least they would need big power lines to take the current away. Got me to thinking about this. The government subsidizes these windmills because they can't pay for them salves. Government is trying to prevent coal by putting so many regulations on them and they still make current at a profit.
Someone tell me anything good about these windmills
