Dead because of a lie. Dead because selfish people in government wanted a war and lied to get one. How can you not be angry?

Wind Power Exposed: The Renewable Energy Source is Expensive, Unreliable and Won’t Save Natural Gas.
Wind has been the cornerstone of almost all environmentalist and social engineering proclamations for more than three decades and has accelerated to a crescendo the last few years in both the United States and the European Union.
But Europe, getting a head start, has had to cope with the reality borne by experience and it is a pretty ugly picture.
Independent reports have consistently revealed an industry plagued by high construction and maintenance costs, highly volatile reliability and a voracious appetite for taxpayer subsidies. Such is the economic strain on taxpayer funds being poured into wind power by Europe's early pioneers -- Denmark, Germany and Spain – that all have recently been forced to scale back their investments.

There is a much easier solution
chillyphantomIf you wipe out half of the population, you can get the other half to cut consumption very significantly.
So, how do we wipe out half of the population?
Want to play a game of global thermonuclear war?
That's no solution.
DonRobertsonGive everyone an UZI and set up a three week open season on schmucks. Ah Hell. Why not a year round open season?
Back to the story.
I've visited the windmills here, in Mars Hill, Maine. They are very impressive. They have inspired the Quixote in me.
In rural areas contrary to the views of a few outspoken gripers, the windmills have actually created something of a rush to build with a view of the Windmills. They are majestic swooping cranes these mechanical behemouths.
My own inclination about the technology caused me to wonder if building these giants was the right approach for the sake of efficiency.
Why not tiny and very cheap windmills that can be strung together, and which do not tie back into the power grid, but which instead perform three simple functions, 1) lighting, 2) heat, and/or, 3) air conditioning?
The reason I think this way is better is in part because I do not think there is any energy crisis. There is only a crisis in the way we use (waste) the energy we do consume.
Emphasizing very small windmills as the important technological innovation, and very small appliances that could then be developed to use the small output of energy made by these small windmills, the industry would be emphasizing solutions to problems we otherwise now waste massive amounts of energy resources upon that are clearly consumption overkill.
don't be silly
Thomas O. AndersonThe powers that be would never promote tiny, cheap windmills. My God, then people might start becoming energy "independent." Corporate (Fascist) America thrives on a "dependent" population.
Anyone could build a small windmill. But for those majestic behemouths, you need to call folks like Boeing!
