[QUOTE="fly2cast, post: 263240, member: 656"] Unless you guys can prove otherwise, wind is cheaper than coal to produce energy. Yes, it's not windy every day and therefore we need other types of power production. Wind isn't just a feel good thing we do. It produces cheap energy. Should it be subsidized. Probably not. I think most of you have this perception that wind and solar are mostly inefficient and can't produce enough power to make a difference. That is wrong. Wind and solar and battery technologies have made HUGE increases in efficiencies. We aren't living in the 70s anymore. This stuff is real. If you guys did the research you would see the exponential growth we are having in these technologies. It is the future. Right now, you are right, we don't have storage capacities and need some fossil fuel capacity. Battery technology has come a long, long way and it is the future. Don't make this a political issue. We are on this hunting and fishing site because we love the outdoors. We are the true conservationists of the world. Work together to make this earth a better place. Even though you don't agree with the liberals on how it should be done, don't discount these technologies. Support them as much as possible. We all want the same thing but have different ways of achieving those goals. [/QUOTE]
