Maybe they should talk to the Dutch who are getting out of the
offshore wind business.

"the Dutch government says offshore wind power is too expensive and
that it cannot afford to subsidize the entire cost of 18 cents per
kilowatt hour -- some 4.5 billion euros last year."

What? Do you mean a country who embraced the technology now has found
that it isn't up to it? Do you think Loogie will even read this? Either
way, this puts to bed any questions he has for me as to my own opinion
on wind and solar... Neither will work until new technology is found,
AND we stop wasting money building the stuff we have now, that we
already know doesn't work...
