Comment: I’d say…oil and gas co’s love this wind bs, why? It keeps the cost of energy high, thus instead of E&P’s have to invest heavily into looking for additional o&g, they can spend 10% of that capex on government funded renewable crap, and then generate a higher return due to high commodity prices on their existing assets and bank the cash.
