Chinese Firm Receives Stimulus for Texas Wind Farm

From gatewaypundit.com In February it was reported that 80% of Stimulus Dollars For Wind Power Goes to Foreign Companies- Including China. ABC reported that a Chinese company is helping build a massive wind farm in west Texas. The firm will receive $450 million in Stimulus cash. The project will save or create 300 jobs in Texas and 2,000 manufacturing jobs in China. That sounds like a good use of taxpayer dollars, huh? Apparently, nothing much has changed. Democrats are still giving wind farm jabs to the Chinese. Three weeks before Election Day, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., center, arrives for the dedication of a wind farm in Henderson, Nev., on Oct. 12, 2010. More here

FYI:

600 MW x 30% capacity factor (being generous) x 365 days/yr x 24 hrs/day x 1000 kW/MW / 11,000 kWh/yr per avg US household = 143,345 households, not 180,000 as stated in the article. The "households" number is used by wind farm proponents as a way to mask the fact that the wind farm does not produce power in any kind of controllable or scheduled manner. The real winner are the natural gas producers, as Robert F. Kennedy reveals in this speech to the Colorado Oil & Gas Association: http://theenergycollective.com/rodadams/47773/robert-f-kennedy-jr-tells-colorado-oil-and-gas-association-wind-and-solar-plants-are-
