www.windaction.org

Since Mohave County has approved wind generation facilities, I urge everyone to gather all of the facts they can related to this issue. I myself am going to be investigating this proposal and will bring the facts I learn to light.

From this website:

"It's also apparent the Federal government does NOT treat all renewables equally. Subsidies for wind far exceed those paid for Biomass, Geothermal, Hydro, and Landfill gas combined."

and

"Yet, given the unpredictable, intermittent nature of the fuel source, wind energy is the least able, of all renewables, to reliably supply generation during peak periods. Further, wind requires companion generation to address low or no winds conditions, and extensive, costly transmission upgrades to deliver power long distances to load centers."
