some deep insights into the climate and weather situation on our continent by professor. we re switching over to germany which is also doing its best to tackle climate change like investing in renewable energy sources but that can also have various isn t that s true. yes it s hard to believe that environmentalists. beginning to ask the question how clean renewable energy many wind generators. place. or where do you put all those tons of cement steel and plastics it could africa has the answer. these sections of decommission turbines as

wind generators for 28 days. that s lost income for the wind farms. green groups hate because it sends a message that when push comes to shove hydro power will always trump wind power. that will kill future wind development. conservatives don t like it because it s driving up the cost of energy. hydro doesn t emit any carbon. we require the taxpayers to subsidize renewable energy and we want rate payers to pay them when they lose money. that system is unsustainable. reporter: bonneville submitted its plan yesterday. now they have to decide whether it s fair to the energy companies and taxpayers. megyn: bold claims made during
explain what s going on, dan. reporter: a lot of regions around the country might like to have this problem. in late spring and early sum they are is too much renewable energy in the pacific northwest. you have snow melt sending tons of water count rivers. at the same time the wind is howling in the columbia river gorge. so the wind farms are cranking out maximum energy. as it turns out too much energy for the demand. so last year the federal agency shut down the wind mills for 38 days. to compensate the wind generators for their losses they will be paid up to $50 million a year, a fee that will eventually be paid by rate payers. we require utilities to buy
