EXCERPT:

Energy: When even Chuck Schumer is upset with the White House, you know something's amiss. In this case, it's news that efforts to boost wind power with taxpayer stimulus dollars are filling foreign coffers and creating foreign jobs.

According to the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University, nearly $2 billion in money from the American Recovery and Investment Act has been spent on wind power. The goal was to further energy independence while creating American jobs. It has done neither.

Of the money spent, according to the report, nearly 80% has gone to foreign manufacturers of wind turbines.

The stupidity of environmentalism continues.

what a farce, I was never a big fan of 'wind power'. what i fear most is that the hippie's constant barrage of complaints is forcing public officials to create policies that only harm the well being of its citizens.
