    Two issues... (none / 0) (#2)

    ...  the "renewable" energy crowd always seem to shy away from.

    First off, their numbers don't mesh very well with reality.

    According to Michigan Energy, Michigan Jobs:

    "If Michigan's manufacturing talent, know-how and capacity were factored in, the number of jobs could reach 94,000."

    But according to the American Wind Energy Association, there are only 85,000 people employed NATIONWIDE right now.

    Second, Michigan is known for cold weather.

    What the "renewable" energy crowd hates to admit is that wind energy doesn't work very well in cold weather (like not at all).

    Kinda hard to generate any power, when the tower and blades are caked in ice following a severe winter storm.

    On top of that, anyone want to guess what will happen to people or property after a huge chunk of ice breaks off of the blades or pylon and goes crashing several hundred feet towards the ground?
