Come on, Marty. I know you're more rational than to post such a
non-sequitur. Do you believe those wind farms offer enough profit so as
not
to require the taxpayers to shovel tax money at them?



Do you think we don't subsidize other industries?


Ah, the old game of justifying bad behavior by pointing at other bad
behavior.



So, we do then subsidize other industries, which isn't in keeping with "free
market" ideology. Which ones should we stop subsidizing? How about the US
arms industry? How about agribusiness? The former kills 1000s every year,
while subsidizing wind farms would promote energy production which isn't
soley dependent upon foreign oil.
