Reply to comment by [deleted] in What are the *specific* benefits we can anticipate from the wind farms off the coast? by 3kool5you

Stop spreading these stupid lies. Wind farms work in Canada, they can work here. They froze in Texas because they decided to gamble on saving money by not winterizing. They lost.

As for stopping when the wind stops, wow, you're so smart! I bet the people who've been doing this for decades never thought of that, thank goodness you came along. No way they know something you don't.

I prefer to let the experts who've dedicated their lives to studying the issue do the research. They know more than I do about it. It would be extremely arrogant of me to think that I can do a better job than they can.

How about you open your eyes and realize how much wind power is already deployed around the world. We're not guessing about an uncertain future here. We've been doing this for a while now, we know it works.

> wind power is not stable

Do you actually think that you're the only person who knows this? Do you honestly believe that you're blowing the lid off this whole operation with your Nostradamus-like prediction that sometimes the wind stops?

Yes, we know that. We fucking obviously know that. You aren't smart for pointing it out. Did it ever occur to you that the people who have spent decades working with this technology have also been living on the same fucking Earth you live on? That maybe, just maybe, they know what the fucking wind is? And that, because they know this, they also account for it when designing these systems? No, it didn't enter your head at all, because your head is fucking empty.

> and not cost effective

Yes, power companies are definitely in the business of spending billions of dollars on things that aren't cost effective, idiot.
