    That’s why 'Muricans don’t want to invest in wind power: they don’t want all that money going to Europe!

    Wind needs all this public funding because it doesn’t work.

    You know what works? Private funding right into politicians pockets to double down on oil and gas.

    Also, ppl need to grow up. Windmills are clearly some man-child’s fantasy because they liked how their colorful windmill looks while sitting in a gas powered car

      To be fair, the headline is super weird, I read the report and can’t find where they pulled that number from. The report says “wind fund good, with wind fund 2040, without wind fund 2040” stuff but never mentions how big it is.

      But also it sounds plausible that a 1m subsidy could make or break 7m project.

    But how many € get delivered into the pockets of the fossil fuel industry our politicians are working for? See… there’s the reason why it won’t happen.
