Stop Subsidies for Wind Power

Dear Editor,

Congress is considering renewing subsidies to wind companies. It's time to end wind subsidies. BPA has been forced to pay for wind power that wasn't needed due to adequate production of hydro power which Wash- ington State does not recog- nize as a renewable energy source. How asinine!

Power bills are rising in our state due to the requirement to increase use of "renewable" power, which wa- ter is not considered to be. Ridiculous!

Wind power has been giv- en enough of a head start. It's time for them to stand on existing towers or fold.
