More backoff from the Carbon Cult...
Avista, the Spokane-based electric company, announces that it will "put off" construction of a windmill farm.
In other words, they always knew that wind was only a trick to generate credits, not a valid way to generate electricity. Now that the whole fraud is collapsing, there's no reason to build a subsidy-generator that won't generate any subsidies. ¶ 7:06 PM
Avista had planned to have the farm operating in 2013 so it could qualify for federal and state tax credits, but officials now say the electricity won’t be needed for several more years. This is the second delay for the Lincoln County project, which was first announced in 2008.
"It really doesn't pencil out at this time," said Hugh Imhof, a spokesman for the Spokane-based utility. "We thought it would be more prudent to wait until we need the electricity, or the renewable energy credits, and do it then."
