Wind Industry Built On Lies & Runs On Subsidies

 The wind industry has been firmly attached the subsidy teat for more than 30 years.

Whether it's in Western Victoria, South Australia or in the midwest of the USA, wind power is always and everywhere about massive and endless subsidies.

Janna is the president of the Coalition for Rural Property Rights, a large statewide grassroots group of farmers, residents and landowners standing against the onslaught of industrial wind in Iowa.

The pat answer is that the tax credits are declining every year starting in 2016 giving people the impression that now industrial wind can stand and that their costs have fallen so far as to make it affordable.

MidAmerican has even repowered some of their turbines that are barely over 10 years old to begin again that 10 years of PTC. In MidAmerican's recent application for ratemaking to the Iowa Utilities Board for Wind XII which has yet to be built, they talk about using "Safe harbor" to keep their costs down.

Many, many communities and even states have fought off the onslaught of industrial wind but in Iowa we are losing every single fight.

20 years of wind energy with no oversight and no regulation.
