Cleantech Companies Will Stimulate Recovery

The claims made for wind energy in tis article are total BS. Consumers and ratepayers will pay more for the energy, not less. Taxpayers are already paying for this boondoggle in the form of higher subsidies for wind than any other energy source. Without these high subsidies, production tax credits, and accelerated depreciation no one would build these inefficient turbines.
GE bought Enron's wind business and Clipper was founded by an Enron exec. Clipper turbines have had problems that required thier entrire 2007 production to be taken down and replaced. Problems with blades and gearboxes have caused further refits.
This industry is cutting down forests, destroying habitat of wildlife and human beings,creating stormwater runoff, and devaluing and making some properties worthless.
Emissions released in manufacture, transport, mixing and pouring the tons of cement, etc. as well as all the manyadverse impacts need to be considered when touting this scam. This article sounds like it was written by the wind industry.
This scam will be the next bubble to burst. Worse than ethanol.
