Mexico wises up and ends it's experiment with wind generated electricity.

Mexico Pulls the Plug on Wind and Solar

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called wind turbines "fans”, saying they did not produce much energy, and is ceasing support for wind and solar including grid connections.He reportedlysaid that the government will stop issuing permits for new wind projects that interfere with the environment and cause "visual pollution.”

AsMexico is about to enter into its worst recessionin recent-memory, President Obrador is making cuts and halting subsidies to intermittent power from wind and solar that has been driving up the cost of electricity for its population. Recognizing that industrial wind and solar electricity bringlittle to no valueto electrical grids,Mexico is moving to avoid the higher electricity pricesexperienced by Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, South Australia, California, and other governments that have heavily subsidized and mandated their supply of wind and solar power.
