Lsherm: NuttierThanEver: I wonder if the Koch Brother's funded smear job "research" on the dangers of wind energy had anything to do with this as well. We have wind developers trying to establish some turbines here in Southern Michigan and so far the NIMBY folks in two communties have voted them out mostly by a few folks using scare tactics about "flicker effect" and noise pollution. My favorite part is that this community is very conservative but suddenly the same people who biatch about Greenpeace, the Sierra Club and EPA are all very concerned that the turbines might hurt a threatened species of bat that is occasionally seen in the area.

The entire industry is propped up by government subsidies which are being cut because governments don't have any more money, either. This is just market correction.
