Title: Homeland Security in Jeopardy from a Wind Farm
Topic: Wind Energy
Discussed by Dr. Bonner R. Cohen
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 2
The Obama Administration wanted to pursue wind energy and other
alternatives at all costs, regardless of national security or the effect on
other aspects of life. Now, the Greenie Weenies have gone too far
this time. Our National Security is under threat – from a wind turbine farm!
Listen in as Dr. Bonner Cohen reveals what company this wind turbine farm will
be for. You may just cry a little….
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why is this particular wind turbine farm such a threat to National Security?
Listen closely as Dr. Bonner Cohen explains how this wind farm could potentially
place American lives at risk. It will absolutely astonish you!
More information in the next segment! Tune in!

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Homeland Security in Jeopardy From a Wind Farm
Topic: Wind Energy
Discussed by Dr. Bonner R. Cohen
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is this new wind turbine farm providing electricity for the citizens of North
Carolina? HINT: Nope! It’s just for Amazon!
Listen as Dr. Bonner Cohen offers a little science lesson and research
information on wind turbine farms, specifically this new one for Amazon.
Is Amazon already utilizing the new wind turbine farm? Is this already
placing American lives at risk?
When wind energy is not available, what type of energy does Amazon use?
On average, how much energy does a wind farm produce? HINT:
It’s not much!
Is there a reasonable chance that the Trump Administration will inform
Amazon that the wind farm must go?

Title: Are Wind Subsidies Worth It?
Topic: Wind Energy
Discussed by Dr. Larry Bell
with Author
Part 1 of 2
The original Wind Energy subsidy intent was to level the energy market playing field by stimulating technology development to achieve competitive costs, reduce fossil fuel climate pollution, and advance American energy independence. However, none of these goals are really any closer to realization now than when these subsidies were first enacted in 1992.
Dr. Larry Bell is a contributor for Forbes Magazine and Newsmax with his column “The Bell Tolls for You”. Dr. Bell has authored several books and is a Professor of Space Agriculture at
The University of Houston.
Today, Dr. Bell will discussing his recent Newsmax Article, “Five Key Reasons to Pull the Plug on Wind Subsidies”.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why are remote locations needed for Wind Energy?
What aspects are needed at these remote locations in order to provide sufficient Wind Energy?
How expensive is the initial construction and upkeep of Wind Energy locations?
How long do the wind turbines really last? Is it as long as the environmentalists claim?
Is load balancing and a back-up generator necessary in order to keep Wind Energy efficient?
Would Texas citizens happily accept Wind Energy if they knew they would more than likely not have electricity during the night, let alone during the hot summer months? Listen to the next segment to learn more about the equipment needed for Wind Energy Farms…

Title: Is Wind Energy Viable in Today’s Market?
Topic: Wind Energy
Discussed by Joe Barnett
with Heartland Daily News (HeartlandDailyNews.com)
In recent years, Texas has become the nation’s leader in wind
energy. In 2014, wind farms in the Lone Star State had the
capacity to produce more than 12,000 megawatts of electricity, enough to power
3.3 million homes. But given the unpredictable nature of
wind, they produce, on average, only 33.9 percent of their maximum capacity.
Joe Barnett is the Senior Director of Policy Research at the National Center
for Policy Analysis. Today he will be discussing a recent research study
done by his colleague, John McDonald entitled: “Three Friends and the Texas
Wind Industry”.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Can you segregate out the electrons produced by wind energy and enable
individual consumers to only use electrons produced by wind energy?br />
How much generated electricity is lost during transmission from west Texas to
the urban areas of Houston?
In simple terms, Joe Barnett explains how AC DC works in regards to electrical
generation, transmission, and end-use consumption.
On average, are wind mills producing about 1/3rd of the time?
On average, do natural gas fueled electrical generating plants operate more that
80% of the time?
Without huge subsidies, would wind-produced electricity price the middle and low income households out of the market? In other words, would low-income families be forced to pull their plugs and not use electricity because of its high cost?
