Why isn't there any wind energy in the deep south?

Huge turbines with blades weighing 35 tons may start disappearing in a few years as the cost of building them rises farther beyond the juice they produce. Smaller homemade windmills may become more common, especially on farms with land more open than suburbia.

If you are cutting down trees for green energy then that is what we should do as "going green" actually hurts the environment in that instance.

It is not, if. They are cutting down trees that only grow in the rainforest. They need the light-weight wood.

It really is demented to think anybody supports green energy. Cut down the rainforest killing birds and wildlife. Cut 50' wide roads across forests, ridgelines, killing all the little creatures. Then you chop up hawks, eagles, and owls for the next ten years the wind turbine operates.

Sounds like another great advance by the democrats, science.

It has already failed? What makes you think any more research and money will make it viable?

Do you understand how electricity is made?

Not failed it just didn't catch on until recent years. Brazil has a working system.

Brazil has no such thing. I lived in Brazil for over 5 years of my life. Brazil suffers brown outs and outages all the time. That is because like Venezuela, Brazil relies on the green energy you call Hydro.

Currently, there is a group of politicians that want to build 8 nuclear reactors in Brazil. But, like here they run into opposition. Currently, Brazil operates 2 reactors, spent millions, if not a billion, building a third, that a government change, killed.

Brazil has nothing that works, not even the delivery of water to houses, nor the treatment of sewage from the houses.
