hey Old Rocks,
There's not a gotdamn thing mankind can do to help the earth. the earth helps itself.
If we used you stupid logic we could stop Hurricanes and Tornados and Earthquakes and Floods.
Stop being a moron. Wind Energy is bullshit propaganda to slow the movement of mankind.
and let me guess, YOU own car right now? maybe 2?
If wind energy is bullshit propaganda then what exactly is the oil business? Fossil fuels, big business, and extreme capitalist greed slows the movement of mankind, not wind energy.
Except that energy from wind is sporadic and unpredictable. Not the stuff that would be an alternative to a 24/7 Nat Gas plant or coal plant. You cannot have a society like ours when the wind doesn't blow on Thursday and you've mandated all the fossil fuels to be evil.. And you don't think that Big Wind has lobbyists? That the $Bills that GE and Siemens and the other giants have gotten to be major players in wind is somehow cuter and cuddlier?
The amount of waste from a nuclear plant is 0.7 ounces/per household/ per year. Can you do better than that? No CO2 emissions, no acid rain.
Wind is not gonna be a major factor in actually continuing our standard of living in a post -fossil-fuel world.
Well I am not saying that wind will be the primary energy source I was simply saying that it wasn't bullshit as that guy was saying. Also i agree that there are lobbyists for wind energy in Washington and that big money drives a lot of those contracts, but if I had to choose a between an oil lobbyist and a wind lobbyist then i would choose the wind lobbyist.
