A couple years ago, near “the city of evil” in Central NYState, I had an extensive conversation with a liberal activist. She had been very active in the Seattle area as far as beating the bushes FOR wind power.

Something like five years later, she had moved here, and was adamantly against building ANY windmills. No need to go into the reasons why,,, they are all the common sense things conservatives such as you and I have known all along.
