One of China’s biggest manufacturers of wind turbines is shutting down its subsidiaries in Italy, Canada, the US, and Belgium. Sinovel has gone through two CEOs, layoffs, court battles over alleged theft of a US company’s software, and internal restructuring–all in the past year.
Birds rejoice. Warmists crestfallen.
I think the failing fortunes of the not ready for prime markets bird chopper industry has more to do with economic down turns than a return to gravity by utopian technocrats. In either event it is profligate socialism which is at fault.

Ontario’s Liberal Wynne List.
Current Ontario Wind Output: 109 Megawatts (MW).

Maz, now at 83MW of the capacity of 2043MW. Seems dependable, NOT.
Titanic Tweety Terminators are a failure, who would have thought, why all those thousands of old farmyards with the falling down old windmills were next on the list for the eco-idiots to upgrade to the new slice and dice slap chop model.
In other news, construction continues on titanic windmills in Fisherville Ontario. Where the wind ain’t blowing right now, if the view out my window is any indication.
I think Canadians generally have no idea the extent to which they are being robbed blind every single day by astonishingly corrupt government officials. These windmills are roundly decried by every single Ontario Hydro guy I’ve ever talked to about it. They roll their eyes. Every reputable power engineer I’ve spoken to assures me the windmills can’t possibly work. Every farmer whose land got expropriated to build the d@mn things curses them.
But there they are my friends. Hundreds of them. Built KNOWING they can’t work. Built KNOWING that every penny of the tens of billions being spent would be wasted.
This is simple corruption. Corruption on a scale that would make a Soviet apparatchik blush. They put these things up to STEAL THE MONEY. Seven billion to Samsung alone. Imagine the kickbacks on that deal.
I think the federal Liberals got a taste for the sweetness of the kickbacks when they spent two billion on the gun registry, and hatched this windmill scam for Ontario.
I think it might be time a whole mess of people went to jail.
They forgot a couple of words
“…is shutting down its (subsidy seeking) subsidiaries…”
Come now.. The lib-left have created an economy based on tax dollars.. Think of it as the green rush..
Criminal schools, criminal media, criminal government.. They control all the levers and have failed us completely..
The day will come real soon, where your hydro bill will be 750 to 1000 dollars every two months..
So these THIEVES can pretend to save the world..
The cost per kilowatt-hour delivered is higher for wind than for nuclear, and nuclear works 99% of the time.
Wind-power exemplifies the flaw in democracy. Politicians will do what promises to give them the most votes, not what should be done in most cases.
