Blowing against the wind

If you Google "windmill opposition" as I did in the link above, you'll find 230,00 entries. Wherever these projects are proposed, opposition immediately swarms up to defeat them, whether in Bovina, New York, anywhere else in the Catskills, California, Nevada, or anywhere within sight of those eco-champions, the Kennedys. The same phenomenon can be observed for a power line transmission wires (893,000 hits)coal powered fuel plants (1,990,000)or nuclear energy (12,100,000) I'd guess that this fierce nimbyism will severely curtail the amount of energy generated from wind and certainly delay massive projects for at least a decade. So how are we going to run our economy? The best, or most revealing answer, comes from a European environmentalist - we don't - our western economy must be destroyed.

So the next time Mr. Obama says that our economy must be transformed, you might ask, "transformed how?". Nancy Pelosi isn't concerned. As she recently stated, "this whole wind power thing is a hoax - it will take ten years for wind power to make any appreciable contribution to our energy needs and we need a solution now. That's what the Democrats have come up with: we're going to release 10% of our Strategic Oil reserve right now, right away. That will give the country a four-day supply of fuel, which will allow AlGore, Barack and me to gas up our jetsand get the hell out of here to Bali. The rest of you chumps can just freeze in the dark. See ya!"

Thanks, Nancy
