This, apparently, is becoming a common thing. Transmission failures are occurring more frequently then reported. The press of course doesn't want to report it as they are supportive of "alternative" energy sources rather than more petroleum based sources like oil or gas.What is blocked from their agenda is that America's industrial power if fueled by oil and it's by-products and will be for decades to come. These include many medicines and all plastics. Are these important to us or are willing to give them up to go 'green'?
'Going Green' is more important, I guess, than 'growing' green, money that is, to support our life styles, which by the way, the environmentalists want to alter to their liking.
Most interested parties will admit that maintenance of these wind mills will be a problem, mechanically and financially. Without subsidies for upkeep, the burden will fall on the tax payers as was intended in the first place when these were introduced. The feds always intended, if not mentioned, the subsidies were just for erection, not maintenance.
The same agenda is in place for solar and geothermal sources. The federal government has no intention of paying for the upkeep. The local power companies knew this going in but did not want to fight the feds on the issue as this might mean inviting attention from environmentalist in the government and therefore subsequent attacks on their power companies.
After all, we don't want to be seen as not going with the flow. But then, aren't tax payers always willing to pay what ever it takes to go "green"? hmmmm I guess when the landscape is littered with dead and dying wind mills, the responsible parties that advocated these things will step forward and remove them at their expense. Yeah right! Hello taxpayers.
