Pure idiocy.

My power company recently announced that they have decided against building the new coal fired plant and are building a wind farm instead (Plus raising my rates an “estimated” 6%)

More workers have already died falling from wind turbine towers than all nuclear power plant accidents combined, except Chernobyl in USSR. While nuclear power goes back 60 years, wind turbines are a recent phenomena.

I have absolutely no problem with wind power and support it if it can pass the following criteria.

1. It must be competetive with fossil or nuclear energy derived electricity.

2. The environmental damage to the locals must be fully compensated, those blades make a bucket load of noise and chew up the occasional bird.

3. No government monies can be used to subsidize the wind power.

The above three criteria in effect would stop all wind power generated electricity today. When and if wind power can meet the above criteria I will support it. Today it does not meet even one requirement much less all three.

Windfarms. Ecofascist environmental equivalent to a strip mine.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?

I’d like to laugh at the Brits for this but we’re still converting our food into ethanol.

Every environmentalist group on the planet should be forced into paying for the removal of these eyesores once reality sets in that they are a fiasco. It should not be left up to the taxpayers to pay for these mistakes.

Windmills got people to move off their property because of the noise and the side-effects of massive headaches. No one cared about the thousands of birds who were and are being killed. I wonder what was/is the real reason for these windmills? It certainly wasn’t energy.

Wind turbines are the main physical cause of fatal headaches, early onset of menopause, brain damage, cancer, horror visually forced into victims, and the murders of millions of birds and bats every minute.

California's largest wind farms kill on average, more than 80 Golden eagles per year and up to 1,000 raptor deaths per month. You all will not believe this report, and not one company has been fined or arrested. If a farmer killed an eagle that was killing his sheep, he would be fined up to $5,000 and maybe serve time.

Even more frustrating is 18 years ago all federal and state lands have been off limits for logging to maybe save a spotted owl or two! 20% unemployment and our county is on the federal dole to the tune of $50 Million a year to support our county government all to stop logging and save the spotted owl!!!!
