Indeed they do. I agree totally that any corruption from any activity in any industry should be dealt with appropriately.
It's evident the views in the post are quite strong and in some cases the language used does seem somewhat biased rather, than balanced and rational. There are generalizations in the article that cannot be seen as totally accurate in all cases. It also has to be borne in mind that the renewable energy penetration is still quite small, although growing very fast. We have a long way to go before renewables like wind energy will be seen as main stream energy technology and there will be its share of teething problems as with other new technology.
e.g.; of some generalizations;

industrial wind projects do almost nothing to reduce global warming or property taxes.

It is old (and now, common) knowledge that wind turbines have no substantial postive effect on anybody or anything.

I don't entirely agree with these statements, because they are blanket statements. If wind energy can one day provide 20% of energy, I think it's well worth the pursuit.
There is also allot of whinging and whining from people about tax credits by people that simply come across as ignorant, particularly about the history of tax credits for the fossil fuel industry over generations and overlooking the imperative for the world to develop clean affordable energy for the long term.
Obviously governments and industry feel that the case against renewable energy and wind energy in particular is weak, otherwise they would not approve the developments. Thus you can blame your government if you are dissatisfied. Hopefully, you did not vote for them.
