The Wall Street Journal has an article about "the world's largest wind farm" in Roscoe, Texas, which manages somehow to omit the fact that the facility was built with $121,903,306 in U.S. taxpayer subsidies. The project, the Journal says, employs about 10 staffers and 60 contractors. One way to look at it is that it's about $1.7 million in taxpayer subsidies for each of those 70 jobs. For more on wind energy subsidies please see the earlier posts on the topic here and here.
