Considering that all 4 large turbines installed in Massachusetts since 2008 are currently off line because of structural design and installation flaws.
None of them have been working for the last 14 months or longer. It will be at least another 6 before any are repaired and operational.
Your stimulus tax dollars hard at work.

No surprise. The technology is junk.

If we had "invested" in developing storage technology...
...instead of windmills, this might be a different story. Without solving the base load problem first, our brilliant leaders have put the cart before the ox. But the problem is that the storage tech issue is much more difficult and hard to understand that windmills which everyone understands, and make for great photo-ops for politicians who wish to look green. (Except at Nantucket, where they are unpopular because they spoil the views of the "rich" environmentalists)

The installation decline
may also be something to do with wind energy being absurdly expensive, unreliable and ugly to name just three of many deficiencies. The carbon free answer to energy generation could be encapsulated in one word: thorium, but we seem to be content to leave it to our competitors, mainly India and China while expending our resources on a pipe dream.
