There's a reason they make electricity with fossil fuels -
It makes money.
Unlike windmills - which need taxpayer money to appear profitable.
Stop acting and thinking like a dumb kid then.
The United States provides a number of tax subsidies to the fossil fuel industry as a means of encouraging domestic energy production. These include both direct subsidies to corporations, as well as other tax benefits to the fossil fuel industry. Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year; with 20 percent currently allocated to coal and 80 percent to natural gas and crude oil.
Stop being a right wing shill

1. Love how he keeps calling it a windmill (tell me what it's milling ) It's a wind turbine
2. No one thinks it generates free power forever (neither do power plants)
3.Special blades exist for all the conditions he lists and modifications can be made to the turbine to adapt it thus reducing costs and damage
4. Talks about how long it lasts forgets to mention the near-constant maintenance the current energy system requires and its cost
5. Note he doesn't source any of his claims
I don't like the looks of wind farms. It somehow make those parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas even uglier. It looks difficult to manufacture, transport, and install. And what happens to all that at the end of life for the technology? As an engineer, I thought it was a bad idea. But, here we are. It's working despite what I think. Learning to accept you were wrong about something is an important lesson for children and adults. Scientist and engineers are used to it.
He's also ignoring the huge environmental costs of fossil fuels, their impending expiration and the reasons we are scrambling to replace them.
