“Production Tax Credit” pays them $.25 for every KW they generate.


According to Duke Energy, they produce over 1750 MW at 15 wind farms and 17 solar farms. in 12 states.

If the tax credit is the same for solar, then they are receiving $437,500 per year.

Make the turbine blades look like wings.

It will look like a much much bigger bird and should scare them off.

If we did away with PTC, that gets an automatic adder on all utility bills, we can see our real taxes.

The man does not want us to see the real cost.

So, we fire up the magnetrons, displays, motors, etc to save fuel? Oh, someone has to monitor the displays.
And what happens when they see a flock of birds or an eagle flying toward the wind farm?Shut them down? Can they stop the windmills? Give them a burst of microwave energy and cook them on the fly?

Bet if you add it up it’s a wash. At best.

Like zerocare, it may be cheaper to just pay the fine.

We are at a point where the American public have become so passive that if the
Democrats passed a bill to execute all republicans their supporters would allow it.
For the good of the planet and AmeriKa.

if you were referring to the cedar chest i am in fact a professional cabinetmaker and that was a simple exercise made easier because it was love twice

not that it matters but there are those strange days when you (can that one bonus) take your wife for a nice dinner and someone obviously more wealthy and gentile says i know who you are and i apologize because i dont recognize him (trailer trash dont mix with millionaires) but then he turns to the rest of the waiting crowd and tells them this man made my cabinets (for his multimillion dollar “cabin”) and is glad to shake my hand

this is one of a nother of those strange days and i accept your compliment with humility (and pride)

ok lets get back to the stupidity hypocrisy and the death of a nation
