Joe Manchin’s nightmare is coming true: Sherwood.news reports that wind has overtaken coal as a source of US electricity production for at least two months and counting starting in March through April, the most recent month that data is available from the Energy Information Administration, showing that wind turbines spit out 47,688 MWh nationally to coal-fired plants’ 37,223 MWh.
Anti-wind power advocates will no doubt be absolutely horrified by the news. “You want to see a bird graveyard, go under a windmill someday. You will see more dead birds than you’ve ever seen in your life,” said one in remarks last year. That same anti-wind power expert also in 2019 warned of a deadly form cancer caused by proximity to turbines. “They say the noise causes cancer,” the expert claimed at the time. The next year he asserted he knows more about wind than you do.
