Drew, it’s worse even than that. I’ve taken a look at our new green job/renewables models that we’re supposed to follow, now that the president has retreated from citing Spain — including his quick-change substitute for Quixote-land of Denmark, windmill capital of the world: specifically, “Why Wind Power Works for Denmark.”

Enormous wind capacity installed! Ok, so the “wind carpet” (see Fig. 3 and you’ll see why that description is apt) — first installed at the best locations mind you — offers a “load factor” (in short, how often they work), of a rib-splitting . . . wait for it . . . 20 percent. And as you’ll see when reading that cited paper with the misleadingly kind title — and whose subtitle should be “and why it won’t elsewhere” – that’s actually being generous.

So the good news for the birds, bats, and those who otherwise might have joined the six fatalities from freak windmill accidents since 2002, is that these gesture-menaces don’t turn very often.

Go nuclear!
