“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister).
Despite the obvious truth, the wind industry keeps repeating its lies, until they become their truth and are repeated in the popular media. Look at the facts people, not the wind industry spin.
Wind worshippers continue to make wild claims about wind power already being “free” – and, apparently, getting cheaper all the time.
Although, it appears that selling a product with no commercial value (apart from the massive subsidies it attracts) is getting tougher all the time. Even the merest mention of a cut to subsidies has the wind industry’s parasites quaking in their boots.
Now – in a ‘hey, quick, look over there!’ kind of move – the wind industry’s spruikers have taken to making claims about the costs of wind power, that would make Pinocchio blush.

Well, the wind IS free, just like coal and uranium in the ground are also free. All forms of energy, as found in nature, start out as free. Wind turbines are not free and they don’t last forever. When the cost of the wind turbine is included, as it should be in a proper accounting of costs, wind power is usually found to be very expensive.
But even if we agree to the claim that wind power is cheaper, then it shouldn’t need any subsidies or mandates. Right?
