Yes, Denmark’s massive wind subsidies did attract wind companies to that country, but at unsustainable costs: In 2005, Denmark had to slash the bank-busting subsidies and the wind industry instantly dried up. Not one wind project has been built since the subsidies were removed.

But even 20 years on the state tit yielded a pittance. Despite building 6,000 windmills accounting for 20 percent of the nation’s energy capacity, alternative windpower accounts for just three percent of the country’s energy production because of its unreliability. Incredibly, most of Denmark’s wind energy is exported because it’s erratic nature has consigned it to surplus power.

Cap and Trade is a shell game because it hides what is happening. When you monetize carbon, someone is going to pay for it. Saying it is cap and trade makes people (consumers) believe that big business is paying for it; however, we all know that these businesses will increase utility rates or manufactured goods’ prices to pay for this increase in costs. If we want to be intellectually honest, it should be a carbon tax. While I do not support a carbon tax either, it is the only way to be upfront with consumers.
