Wimp Power: Some Quotations from Wind’s Critics

John Droz, Jr. has provided a contribution to the MasterResource blog listing selecting quotes about industrial wind power, including Jon Boone's; "“Windpower is not David to coal’s Goliath; rather, wind is David to coal’s Bathsheba”

Wimp Power: Some Quotations from Wind’s Critics — MasterResource:
Energy and environmental issues need to be addressed using logic and scientific thinking, not emotion, wishes, and depiction. On a realistic basis, industrial wind energy fails to deliver the goods. By this I mean that windpower:
  1. Is not a technically sound solution to provide us electricity, or to meaningfully reduce global warming, and
  2. Is not an economically viable source of energy on its own, and
  3. Is not environmentally responsible 
When you take away the wind lobbyists’ fast-talking shenanigans, their con comes down to these two things: They are telling us what we want to hear, and we’re not really verifying the truth of what they’re saying.
