 A
visit to Grant County — The NedPower
- Shell - Dominion industrial wind project is under construction,
with 36 of the planned 155 turbines already standing. To see them
for yourself, go to Grant County and take Rt. 42 toward Mt. Storm,
turning onto Rt. 93 at the Liberty Gas Station.
Take a left on Grassy Ridge Road and drive four miles for a real
close-up view of the project.
The one coal-fired power plant visible on the shore of Mt. Storm
Lake (above) annually produces power equal to what would take 2,217
of the wind turbines situated on 370 miles of ridge top real estate
to produce.

Even more
appalling is the realization that the nature of the energy produced
by wind turbines — variable, intermittent and virtually useless
without compensating duplicate conventional power — will effect
no noticeable reduction in CO2 emissions.
Note the ladder attached to the inside
of the turbine
" Wind turbines produce energy
but they don't produce usable power."
