I live on Lake Michigan where the idiots have been pushing to desecrate out country's greatest natural resource and one of its' greatest natural wonders because they don't have to buy the land - just get the lib gov's approval.
There is one large project in the area on land as well which ruined some of the most pristine natural wonderland in the lower 48.
If you understood what they do to put them in - strip the land, sell the top soil which took 10k years to generate, cut the trees, pour in cement and rebar that will remain there forever and make the lad unusable on those spots, kills the birds - particularly eagles,
then put in the monstrosity that is out of date already but a deal was cut, and use more oil to produce it, transport it, lubricate it, and have a constantly running deisel engine in the base of each of them to act as a wind brake for when strong gusts happen...
...and of course it was not put in an area with good wind - merely the area with the least number of politically powerful people to block i, and where power lines were already available so that they didn't have spend some of their own clean energy govt subsidy cash - they look for the lowest overhead, least resistance spots, not the ones that could have any chance of being more effective.
Then the energy company get a 75 million dollar govt check for achieving "renewable energy milestones".
And guess what? Not only don't they ever even make up for the carbon footprint that it cost to make them, but they are spread out over massive areas and are inefficient by comparison.
I could go on, but I know your attention span.
Bottom line: There is no scientifically logical replacement for oil at this point not named nuclear (another thing that Trump has been pushing in a way that previous presidents wouldn't.
