Wind energy is not a good idea, I think Mike is arguing in good faith here and absolutely right.
Nuclear, solar, hydro, even natural gas are all better solutions in the ways that matter. Wind is the least reliable resource of out of them all and we seriously shouldn't be generating our energy from intermolecular kinetic interactions, that is the lowest level of density. There's a reason the whole world adopted fossil fuels - the breaking of chemical bonds allowed us to harness unprecedented amounts of power.
Not to mention wind turbines, as the industry stands right now, rely on an increasingly ridiculous amount of sulfur hexafluoride being placed in effective GHG landmines, posing an unknown threat to global temperatures.
They also aren't exactly safe to humans. People die trying to fix burning wind turbines.
The physics are bad, the economics are bad, and the tech is bad. We really don't need wind.
