WIND ENERGY DEMAND BOOMING:
Cost Dropping Below Conventional Sources Marks Key Milestone in U.S. Shift to Renewable Energy]
But as with solar panels, the supply of wind plants is limited by lack of capital investment. That is true because of the monopoly on capital of the fossil and nuclear fuel industries and their government shills and banking partners.
Where are the powerful environmentalists who have access to capital?
Bill Gates? Investing millions in ethanol.
Ted Turner? With the biggest ranch in the US where he is raising bison, why doesn't he fund wind?
RFK jr? He opposes Cape Wind thus encouraging bribrery to outlaw all offshore wind development. If his opposiyion to Cape wind is honest, why doesn't he co,me out in favor of capital investment in wind in the manufacturing sector for installations in other areas?
We need leaders who have the ear of those controlling capital to step up to the plate. US consumers have made them wealthy and powerful. Get with the program guys, let's have an energy revolution!
