Seems to be going uphill over here. I guess
there is now plenty of taxpayer money for this "renewable energy".

Subject: Re: The War of the Winds If you want to know more about the intensely subsidized windmill madness in Germany, I could provide MUCH information. As you know, this disease disappeared in Denmark overnight when a new, more reasonable government took over recently, not providing any more taxpayer money. Even in Germany this mental disorder is now going downhill. Indeed, the number of initiatives against destroying pretty scenic parts of our country, killing birds, damaging building, making nasty low-frequency noise, etc., is rapidly increasing - not to mention the effects on the rapid emigration of various energy- intensive industries (aluminum, copper, etc.), plus the VERY expensive backup and balancing electric power requirements, new energy supply lines, and so on. We all hope that this nasty episode in our industrial history will soon disappear with the next German elections in 2006. Cordial regards from Old Europe!

This confirms what the engineering profession has said for decades, in experiential terms that even a politician can understand, i.e., that informs their voters.
