hi, I'm writing an essay for school on whether South Australia should be using wind farms to generate electricity, and I wanted to know if the money it takes to put up wind turbines comes out of taxpayers pockets?

Help is greatly appreciated,

Chelsea.

taxpayers woke up and smelled the scam

Haven't we taxpayers wasted enough of our money on unhealthy, unsightly, inefficient wind farms?

While we're at it, why don't we pull the plug on ethanol subsidies as well?..... Even Al Gore says that ethanol subsidies were/are a mistake.

Alternative energy is very expensive. Either companies lose money or they need a massive handout from hard working taxpayers.

When Obama and Dems give money to windmills, that money comes from taxpayers and is no longer available for schools, medicare, or medicaid. Obama could mandate that consumers pay the higher prices when they use electricity, but that would force manufacturers that use a lot of electricity/energy to countries like China where energy is cheap.
