You know, I grew up in the great State of Wyoming, a place with absolutely majestic vistas in every direction for hundreds of miles. A place where there is more wildlife than about any other place in the US save for maybe Alaska or Montana. Well, that's how it was before all this "renewable energy" came along.
Now that once majestic landscape has been DECIMATED by wind farms as far as the eye can see. Every hilltop has thousands of wind turbines blighting the once beautiful landscape. And you know what is the most frustrating thing of all??? They're all "parked". Not a turbine spinning, and do you know why? Because of exactly what I'm talking about here. It would be one thing if all these thousands of wind turbines were saving America, and stomping out the lefties precious "carbon footprint", if they were contributing to some good for this farce of "Climate Change", that would be one thing. BUT THEY AREN'T...THEY'RE ALL JUST STOPPED. They are stopped because there is nowhere to send the power they generate. They can't. So they pin them in place so they won't spin, and they just sit there idle in the sun, and wind, and snow and rain...forever. They've been like this for over a decade now.
And if all this wasn't bad enough, do you think they'd stop building more??? NOPE! They still build more of these damn things! It's absolutely incomprehensible, the stupidity is just off the end of the stupid scale!
And why is all of this? One...simple...reason. Because there is no cost effective way to get all the power these things generate from where they are to where the people are who consume all this energy. Places like California, Chicago, New York, and even where I live in Colorado just 100 miles away.
It's all just window dressing, but with a price tag which would bring even God himself to his knees. And, it's sad. Very sad.
Am I mad? Damn straight I'm mad! I'm HOPPIN" MAD about it, and I'm smart enough to tell people about it too!
If you search biased search engines like Google you'll find all sorts of glowing reports about wind turbine generation in Wyoming. Even if you ask the question "why are none of them turning?". Every single search result will refuse to answer this question and instead tell you all about their "capacity". This 'capacity' is IRRELEVANT if they're not doing anything (insert multiple expletives here!)!!!
These companies were all supposed to have de-commissioning plans, but none of them did before most of these were built. How convenient!! So now, WE all paid for all these things, and they never generated one watt of power, and now WE taxpayers are going to have to pay to tear them all down...only to turn around and PAY to build new ones. Why? Just look it up! Because most of these systems were built by companies which are no longer in business so there are no replacement parts to refurbish them.
It's almost too unimaginable to believe, isn't it? Sadly though, it's all true.
Here's Quora link for your reading pleasure. You will see lots of apologists and excuse makers defending this colossal waste here too, but it hits at the heart of the issue. You'll see words like "lack of distribution", "obsolete", "lack of maintenance", and on and on. These companies took the money, built the turbines and left (with the money). Not one of these firms, not a single one, gave flying fuck about "renewable" ANYTHING!! All they cared about was "FREE MONEY!!!" Now they got their money, the bank accounts ran dry...and THEY'RE GONE! Nowhere to be found.
Bueller? Bueller??? (that might actually have been funny if it wasn't so evil and twisted, so sad...and so TRUE!)
P.S. - And don't even get me started on solar, and/or solar arrays!!! That would be a post so long that the hosting servers would explode!!!

How's that for some 'discussion', OP? LOL!!
BTW - I agree with you. Just in case it wasn't clear.
