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%)

0 promised higher electric bills.

More blackout like Kalifornia had recently ?

What used to be spectacular scenery in many parts of America has been altered to a glut of windmills, lined up by the dozens.

Holy Moly is that Consumer’s Energy? Detroit Edison?

Crap, I have both.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

You are lucky. The kooks in California have MANDATED that 1/3 of our power must come from wind and solar. Look for rates to double and power to be unreliable.

I've had a few PerryKrishnas insist on telling me how great wind power is.

It's amazing how common sense (or reality) gets checked at the door...........

Perhaps pure idiocy for the fool picketing a power plant, but not so stupid for those closely connected to the Obama Administration & Congress.

The Feds guarantee loans to a well connected green energy firm than no lender would normally make. The execs pretend to build a company as they drain money from the firm in exorbitant salaries & perks. When sufficiently drained, the company declares bankruptcy, & the execs walk away with a bundle of cash, some of which they return to friends in Washington, as a way of saying thanks, keep up the good work, & let's do it again, real soon. Then the cycle repeats.

It is as obvious as the Sun, & has been going on as long as Congress has been allowed to allocate funds & the President spends it. It is also a BIG part with what is wrong with politics in this country, & a primary reason why we should have the absolute smallest gov’t budget possible, at all levels. The fewer dollars a politician controls, the fewer dollars will be stolen from the people.
