I do believe the Kennedy family is about as relevant today as a warm pail of piss. Maybe bammy’s boys are trying to shine up Sen Brown?

The Third Reich was also interested in "wind power"

Excerpt:

...American readers will find two sections particularly intriguing: development of wind energy in Germany during the Third Reich, and a critical comparison of the German, U.S., and Danish wind energy programs in the modern era.

Die Geschichte der Windenergienutzung contains the most extensive discourse to date on the Third Reich's interest in wind energy and an unflattering matter-of-fact description of attempts by some of the grand names in German wind energy to curry favor with the Nazis.

In a chapter provocatively titled "Inventor or Charlatan: The Era of Big Wind Power Plants," Heymann reveals his discovery of a damning telegram from Hermann Honnef to propaganda minister Goebbels pleading for a favorable word from Adolph Hitler on Honnef's proposal to build towering multi-turbine monstrosities.

Faithfully yours: Hermann Honnef."

In a subsequent chapter Heymann describes the Ventimotor company, its test center near Weimar, and its key personnel. The company was formed in late 1940 by Walther Schieber and Fritz Sauckel to develop wind turbines that could be used in the war effort....

Aren’t environmentalists the only ones who think wind farms are beautiful? Wind farms are hideous!
