Wind power is useless because there's no where to put the windmill. No middle class suburb will allow those things within 30 miles of them, making their implementation impossible.

Wind power will produce at least 20% of the world's electricity by 2025, this technology has reached a critical mass where costs have come down enough and the technology continues to advance, todays technology with up to 5MW turbines is way superior to the 70s and 80s little 100kW turbines. if investors weren’t interested in wind power, why then are turbine manufacturers basically flat out in building them, the sector is growing by 25% per year and is already reaching 100GW of installed capacity.

That he's using wind turbines as background for his political ads is dishonest, imo.

A better name for you would be "dwindling intelligence". Of course there is major and rapidly growing private investment in wind power. The contrast with nuclear power, which has scared most private investment away, could not be more stark. Yet your intelligence dwindles further when you make the NIMBY argument. You do not seriously think people would rather have a nuclear powerplant than a windmill near their homes do you now? Three sentences, and all of them are 100% wrong. That's a fail on your exam Dwindle. That's the problem with blogs. Every idiot can post. And most people are idiots. Dwindle? A better name for you would be “dwindling intelligence”.
