I am told that the concrete under a single windmill is enough for 300 dwellings.

Interesting priorities, we have a housing crisis and we sink billions in windmills and solar factories that poison the soil when they are broken by hailstones.

Why is our financial crisis surprising? Trillions of dollars spent worldwide on wind and solar have delivered more expensive and less reliable power with catastrophic damage to forests and farmlands.

Due to the combination of wind droughts and the cost of grid-scale storage there will never be a transition to wind and solar because these “unreliables” are not fit for purpose to power a post-industrial society.

I don't know how people with families can pay for food. Back in the 1950s, I spent $100 monthly on food for 4 people.Today, I spend $500 monthly for my food....and i am primarily a vegetarian; and don't eat processed food. Organic fruit and vegetables are costly! My daughter started raising chickens a couple years ago for us... and if people think the price of pasture-raised eggs are expensive..I am shaking my head over the cost of raising one's own chickens for eggs. She calls it Food Security!
