Minnesota blows billions on wind turbine electricity. How will this play out in Colorado, not to mention Boulder?

And John Hinderaker points out in this Powerline article – IS WIND ENERGY A GOOD IDEA?  that it makes little sense without government subsidies.

The reality is that wind energy exists solely because of government subsidies. (Don’t take my word for it, just ask Warren Buffett: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.”)

But both Boulder and Xcel, whether together or separately continue their aggressive green energy programs. What will you get? Higher electric bills and the middle class and poorer  purchasing subsidized electricity through Connect for Electricity Colorado. Perhaps I should purchase the website: connectforelectricityco.com!?
