On the Fact that the Chinese Have Constructed Thousands and Thousands of Wind Turbines and Their Air Quality is as Abysmal as Ever

Have you ever wondered about that, folks (better yet, has Al Gore?)? It's really quite simple in that wind energy is easily one of the least efficient forms of energy (for example, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas has admitted that their wind grid is only operating at an 8.7% capacity - natural gas, hydro, and nuclear are all well over 90%) and because of this you always need a backup - the kicker here of course being the fact that China's backup power source is, yeah, you got it, COAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....................................................................................P.S. And, yes, to make the matters worse, a) China's coal-fired plants are way, WAY, dirtier than ours (their scrubbers being much inferior) and b) the furnaces have to be kept on constantly because starting and stopping them prn (it's a nursing thing, folks) actually uses more energy than simply leaving the suckers on.......Are you beginning to see the madness here, folks?

Sometimes they build so-called "green" energy products/industry in China that is funded by US corporate welfare. I still believe this is a big mistake by Obama, and by any administration that does this.

(Of course, this includes the entirely unnecessary handout to the auto companies, which ended up funding their building factories in China and elsewhere)

There's reason why we stopped using this energy centuries ago.
