The amount of fossil fuels to create the windmill and the battery storage capacity will never be recouped by the windmill in its service life. It's not even a system that finances its own creation. And it creates landfill garbage when the turbines break. Environmentalists aren't the ones with them in their backyards or they don't live near landfills.
This is just the opinion of one person, "Don Ellingson is a longtime Boone County resident". I see no credentials for Mr. Ellingson or research to back up his opinion.
