Wind energy is no replacement for oil and gas

The Dutch government sees wind energy as a serious alternative to fossil fuels. "Windmills are castles in the sky", counters the magazine, demanding an end to subsidies for wind energy. "The view that windmills are an attractive source of energy that could significantly reduce Dutch dependence on oil and gas is one of the most expensive myths of the day. ... Windmills are the holy cow of the environmental movement, but they can play no more than a marginal role. There is little energy in wind, and the techology has reached its limits. The only way to make it more profitable is to build higher and cheaper windmills. But the key objection is that often there is no wind at all (in rural areas for roughly four months per year), and then the electricity must come from other sources. So it is pointless. ... It is not wind that turns windmills, but subsidies."
