Thread: Wind power? Anybody skeptical?

Tweet

People with large amounts of wealth are almost always met with distaste by those of us without.
I have seen the ads. I am not well informed on the issue of T-bones motivations and it may not be the "big" answer to the oil situation, but it is sure a source of energy that needs developed aggressively. Yes they are ugly, so are power lines but who amongst us would give up their electricity to free our landscape of that blight?
It will take wealthy people to develop radical energy alternatives, the less than wealthy would be squashed in the attempt, like Schauberger, Tesla, Wilhelm Reich, the Joe cell and any number of other proven workable energy sources that weren't profitable for the wealthy. And yes, they will probably make money doing it.

You guys should visit SW Alberta. There are hundreds of huge windmills there, feeding into the grid. Same in Saskatchewan, down by Swift Current. My cousin has a few old Windchargers making electricity for part of his farmyard.
Saskatchewan is windy because Alberta blows and Manitoba sucks!

I have been through southern California windmill fields, thousands of them.
Also I am not sure where all the new ones are going but I noticed a steady stream of parts flowing west through Texas on I-20. Single blades look to be 80-90 feet long.

Bottom line is while work is being done on all kinds of alternative energy that may work, for now we have to use what we know works. It's a no-brainer that we have to "drill here, drill now and pay less." Not too hard to figure out that one. The problem is the clowns in Washington who are supposed to be working for us, but are getting money from the Global Warming, Save the Owels, Squirrels, Caribou and who knows what nuts that are willing to sacrifice us.

Hydrogen works. Remember the Hindenburg. Wind works, too, if you have a good tail wind!

Time to gather up a load of tar and feathers and visit Washington, DC.

Not sure I agree, but that's funny!!

We have a bunch of the windmills popping up around the countryside as well. Has to be 50 or so just outside of Shelborn ON, 40 or about on the east side of Lake Huron around the Kincardine area. And six new ones at the south end of Lake Huron at Kettle Point ON. Thing is, if they weren't paying and producing, they wouldn't be building them. It's not the whole answer, but then nothing is, but it's playing it's roll as part of the solution for now.
