Can there be too much wind energy?


       Answer: Yes.
Summary
• Politics over Science: how we got here

• The fallacy of “green jobs”

• Subsidies skew the market

• What is the “value” of wind energy?

• The most important equation to remember
Mainly due to the fact that
      policymakers never required a
      Scientific assessment of
      wind energy…

we are now paying for an electrical power supply that is
     HIGH COST AND LOW BENEFIT
