4. To be fair, wind spills are almost as devastating as oil spills

Both sides

So blue states are investing in offshore wind farms. Maybe red states will invest in offshore oil drilling. Both will have to live with the consequences. I'd rather take my chances with wind. Oil spills also screw up the tourism and fishing industries.

Wind has been so excellent for Texas that there have been times when electricity was free during cool windy days.
