At left we have something that illustrates why small wind is a concept in renewable energy that was abandoned about 15 years ago.
Germans are respected around the world for the quality of their engineering. That’s good if you’re buying a Porsche, BWM, or Mercedes for $200K, but it’s terrible if you need something that’s really inexpensive.
And small wind needs to be dirt cheap, because your cost per KWh of electricity can’t be 50 times more than what you would pay to the local power utility.
If you want it cheap, it’s going to fall apart, and that’s particularly true if you’re talking about something that’s installed outdoors and spins every second of every day for decades.
I’m constantly amazed at the cleverness of some people.
How does trickle-down economics actually work in the real world? Just look around.
Is the U.S. standard of living better than that of, say, Sweden?
Ludwig von Mises was around at about the same time that that Ayn Rand was “a thing” in the middle of the 20th Century, but few people hold these beliefs today.
Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.
No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.
You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron. There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.
Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?
