The U. S. government is forcing more renewables on the American generating sector, supposedly to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in order to be an example to other countries
Northern European countries have lavishly subsidized wind and solar electricity generation for years and now we are seeing the results. In Sweden, the lavish subsidies might be coming to an end, so wind turbine owners are dismantling the turbines and selling them abroad, while in Germany, large amounts of wind power are stressing the electrical grid. Their experiences offer the US real-life information about renewable energy, but the real question is whether the U.S. will learn from these examples.
