Green Terrorists Take Out the Power Grid: Incompetence, Criminal Negligence or Worse?

The climate is always changing. When the climate changes, winds shift permanently. Why would you build wind power unless you can accurately predict the future path of winds (which we cannot)? This is really simply stuff, the kind of anecdote that the general public can understand. Why then, did supposedly smart people invest heavily in an unreliable energy source?

More broadly, as with California wildfires and other foreseeable disasters, why did the people who believe in climate change (manmade or not) most strongly, fail to prepare? Central planning fails with the smartest people in charge because they lack critical information, but in this case the planners were morons. Aside from being corrupt and profiting from wind deals, what other motives were involved? Were they incompetent, criminally negligent, or was this energy source selected with the intent of destroying national economies? When the Green movement took off in the 1990s, people called the Greens "watermelons" because many were former communists who needed a new gig after the checks from the Soviet Union stopped coming in. Is the Green movement a Soviet operation that kept running even after the regime fell? Did at Fifth column of traitors intentioally bring down the world's energy grid as part of a larger war plan against freedom, markets and liberty? As social mood declines and the lights start going out, authoritarianism will accelerate because the obvious cause of all these problems is the ruling class who intentionally enacted extremely stupid and short-sighted energy policies over the past couple of decades. Or are they very smart evil people who are doing this all for a malevolent end? The answer will determine their level of punishment, but no matter the intent, these people have to be removed from power yesterday.
