Fifteen Bad Things with Windpower–and Three Reasons Why
http://www.masterresource.org/2010/09/15-bad-things-windpower/
All this comes about for three basic reasons:
1. Wind proponents are not asked to independently PROVE the merits of their claims before (or after) their product is forced on the public,
2. There is no penalty for making specious assertions about their product’s “benefits,” so each contention is more grandiose than the last, and
3. Promoting wind is a political agenda that is divorced from true science. True science is based on real world data — not carefully massaged computer models, which are the mainstay of anti-science agenda evangelists.

Wind is Not Power at All (Part III – Capacity Value)

“Wind provides no capacity value and can pass no test for reliability; one can never be sure how much energy it will produce for any future time.”
The Answer, My Friend is NOT Blowing in the Wind
Believing in wind is a fool’s errand. The reasons are simple. Wind is costly, inefficient and erratic.
