But what about all their "green" energy? Can't they just make more sunshine, just make the wind faster? ;)

Actually, what the Unabomber Cult calls "Clean Air" does make the wind faster. Common sense, but not Commie Science, should tell you that auto emissions make the air thicker and slow down the wind.
