When it comes to wind farms and their supposed generation of renewable electricity, one must examine the definition of the word fraud. Dictionaries define it as deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.
The fact that we are told wind energy is helping in any way to lower our use of fossil fuel based electricity fits well within the definition of fraud. In reality, in the United States we have thousands of wind turbines currently in operation, yet the official estimate of actual electricity produced is 1% or less nationwide and as high as 2% in some states. California can be used as a prime example of fraudulent estimations of actual wind generated electricity. Here it is said that wind generated electricity makes up about 1.5 percent of the overall state usage of electricity. However, this estimate is nothing more than an outrageous lie. California has a population of 40 million as well as having the most wind farms in operation. Thus, the state should be able to be used as an example for the whole US, as far as actual electricity generated by wind, if you consider the total number of turbines in operation along with the overall population. So, both California and the US should have the same percentage when it comes to the actual amount of wind-generated electricity. However, California is estimated to have half of a percentage more than the rest of the country. This is because the wind farm industry simply does not really know what percentage of electricity wind farms generate, because they do not meter the production of electricity or the amount of grid powerWind used to maintain the turbines.
