1. It’s a good start. Now it’s time to get rid of the ridiculous ethanol mandates…

2. From the article, “50,000 jobs are at stake!” – Or, in energy-equivalency to KW-hours-per-job produced by the non-renewable energy generating sector, about twelve.
   So sad, so terribly sad… /sarc

3. I hope a few are left in place as monuments that serve to remind us of the stupidity and corruption of government.

4. All they have to do is make them cheap and efficient and then they will make a profit. The subsidies made them lazy but now they have a spur to come up with one that works. I’m happy the wind business is now liberated from welfare and motivated to meet the challenge of making them pay for themselves.

5. Just come to Calif and see hundreds if not thousands of these bird choppers either not running or rusting away.

6. Once the $$$ taxpayer $$$ subsidies are milked … these hulking cows are put out to pasture … and alllllllll those thousands *snicker* of clean green jobs *poof* disappear.
   The problem is … I have to keep LOOKing at them. The environment is despoiled lonnnnng after they rust in place. And they’re ugly. And repetitive.

7. Why would they need subsidies – the power is free , right ?Ha , ha.

8. I was in Palm Springs back in 2004 for company business…I saw exactly that…hundreds sitting there rusting out..that was then.
   Useless JUNK that produces little usable energy and drives said energy Costs skyward. All part of the plan to create ENERGY POVERTY in the West….IMO only of course.

9. So then, under Pres. Donald Trump the squeaky wheel isn’t getting greased?

10. “Based on current technology, wind power will be practical and profitable early next year” -Heard every year since 1888.

11. anybody wants to ‘slash’ anything, feel free to pluck one of these abominations on the landscape and swing it ’round.
    works REAL GOOD on 100s of thousands of migratory birds, including endangered species, and rodent predators like hawks,
    ALL. OVER. THE. friggin WORLD. how’s that byatch for ‘protecting’ the ‘environment’? hmmm???
    kathleen wynnedfarm, the single most completely and most damaging politic leader I have EVER seen in my 60+ years of watching them screw up. the utter worst, hands down. she has severely damaged the economic, energy, social, and technical infrastructure of ontariowe for at least the next 4 generations.
    soooo why did ontariowe vote for her? here’s a hint: tim hudak was a clucking chipmunk bereft of any new ideas.

12. The tax bill helps us little personally, but the fine points such as lowering the corporate rate and ditching the wind subsidies are worth it. Surprising given that Senator Grassley is proud of his monstrosities scarring the glorious Iowan landscape.
