While there we saw a line of oversize trucks taking the Denmark produced turbine blades on their way from Houston ships to the John Deere wind farms.

The reason you saw them is because the Federal Government and the State Utility commissions force the Power companies to install them. And/or buy power from them. Putting up a wind farm is just as big a tax racket as my solar company was in the 80s. Only the owners are making billions off of it. With pay-offs to the Pols involved.

Any time the Government forces something like this, you know it is a money-losing proposition that we are paying for. I don't have to tell you that.

And no, it is not a "pump-priming investment to get it going." That's just the con used to pass the laws.

The same racket, only bigger, is being used for cornhole, [whoops!, I meant corn alcohol,] conversion plants. Every easy-money government contracting business con-man in the country is building these plants. [I slipped on the verbage because that is what they are doing to us. :>)]
