"That comparison is just about the worst insult you can make to Buffett. As for investing in renewable energy, here is where Berkshire stands -"

Berkshire Wind.

Intermittent and unreliable.
High installation and maintenance costs.
Economic viability highly dependent on government subsidies.
Environmental factors(dead birds, non-biodegradable blades/towers sitting in landfills)
Understated social costs. Big ugly turbines that leave a permanent blight on an otherwise beautiful landscape.
Wonder if Uncle Warren, or Greg would want one in their back yards or view corridors?
