We are spending ourselves into oblivion to mar the landscape and kill off eagles with inefficient wind turbines, which serve mainly as looming symbols of leftist hegemony (and of course, to launder taxpayer money). But the real cost will come when we finally tear the hideous things down.

In Australia, landowners may be saddled with this gargantuan expense:

Andrew Dyer, the country’s energy infrastructure commissioner says he has seen several “questionable agreements” between renewable companies and landholders that could leave the latter saddled with millions of dollars in decommissioning bills.

“Under the law, it will default to the landlord,” Mr. Dyer told a Senate Estimates hearing on May 23.

According to Dyer,

“It costs more money to pull a turbine down than it does to put it up… The costs of pulling down a turbine may exceed the revenue you get for 25 years.”

Twenty-five years is the expected lifespan of a wind turbine, although it is unlikely that people will still tolerate their presence a quarter century from now. It won’t take people that long to face the choice between rejection of moonbattery and societal collapse.
