I've driven over Alamont Pass many times observing all the windmills sitting still.

Yet another, can anyone explain how using twice the fuel is more efficient? Over in Europe they have cars running on turbo diesels for some time, over 80 plus miles per gallon. However, where I live we have the California clean-air regulations, those turbo diesels do not pass emissions yet, and prevent us from getting better miles per gallon, to about half. So how is using twice the fuel is more efficient?

Furthermore more is the crap and tax bill will force your state to use the California clean-air regulations if not already.

The Brits discovered turbines create radar blind spots that hide aircraft.

None of the energy calculations for the efficiency of wind-generated electricity extend to cover all the costs of raw materials extraction, smelting, refining, manufacturing, delivery, and erection of all the turbines and transmission delivery systems that do not now exist and must be fabricated / constructed.

The one that I am waiting for is the group of activists who finally start protesting how these wind farms are having a detrimental effect on the weather due to the interference of natural patterns, the impediment of wind patterns, and the leaching of energy from wide area and energetic weather fronts.

Zero™ Waste, the kind caused by foolish agendas like those of our President. Hmmmnn…

I’ve always wondered why Wind Turbines are always pictured with aesthetically pleasing, single pole white supports, while other electrical
infrastructure is pictured as supported by unsightly, gray metallic towers.

Another hmmnn…

detrimental policy pushed by the Left, extremist eco-policies won’t get significant push back from the general public until it hits them where it hurts. This may mean high utility bills, brownouts, blackouts, and increasing unemployment. Most people live their lives in their own bubbles and it takes a significant prick to penetrate that bubble.

To complicate matters, apparently wind turbines have been determined to be the cause of human health problems as well. According to a website called savewesternny.org, a Dr. Pierpoint (a woman with impressive medical credentials_ testified before the New York State Legislature Energy Committee awhile ago about what she termed “Wind Turbine Syndrome. She states:

These are large, industrial installations.(not ‘farms’) They make large-scale, industrial noise. “Jet engines” is the most common description I hear in surveying people—a jet engine that doesn’t go away and which you can’t get used to

. Symptoms
1) Sleep problems: noise or physical sensations of pulsation or pressure make it hard to go to sleep and cause frequent awakening.
2) Headaches or migraines which are increased in frequency or severity.
3) Dizziness, unsteadiness, and nausea.
4) Exhaustion, anxiety, anger, irritability, and depression.
5) Problems with concentration and learning.
6) Tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

On first glance I thought this was more nonsense of the environmental activism crowed, …but if you read it it kind of makes sense http://www.savewesternny.org/docs/pierpont_testimony.html

In my area, western NY, the enviromentals are screaming about the ‘treated leachate’ from landfills…. and how the trash companies are polluting the lakes…. So far I have not seen any evidence of that, but never mind…. Do away with the landfills…. No incinerators, and incredibly the group leading the charge calls themselves “Zero Waste”.

One can only speculate about just exactly what “Zero Waste” means.. They don’t have any answers as to what to do with the trash, and so far no one’s explained how we will live without generating trash…. I can only assume they want to do away with the sewage treatment plants as well, and I cannot conceive of what their solution to that might be.

Just more knee jerk reactions by activists with no ‘real’ solutions, just more rhetoric more government and more control of everyone lives.

On the radio it was confirmed they are green on the outside but red like marxist-communists on the inside.
