Apparently they overlooked, ignored, or were never fed the truth, and reality of green, and renewables. Not to mention, history. Wind has been tried everywhere for everything, for centuries, and for the most part has been abandoned for technology far superior in cost, efficiency, reliability, speed, or any measurable value.

The "Greenies" are alive and well in Great Britain and even more so in Australia, which just passed a carbon tax on it's citizens.

The free market has always been able to provide the most reliable and cheapest energy, but leave it to the globalwarming fanatics to make us pay more for the Greatest Hoax ever perpetrated on mankind!

BTW, thanks for your Sevice to Our Country! My BIL was a C-130 pilot from 73-93 and just recently went back in to fly AF drones in the sandboxes! (and of course to pad his AF retiremment..:=))

Funny how Obama thinks wind is new. You are correct, it has been abandoned due to cost, energy density per acre, reliability, and capacity factor. Wind (solar too) are appropriate in certain niche applications, but to force it into the base load we all depend on is asking for trouble and high costs.

Thats what they want the stupid smart grid for; for load shedding when the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining. And we are told that is an advancement. Feedback control and load shedding isn't new. It is just that smart people in the past decided the best solution was to make sure there was enough generation and distribution to keep up with demand. Now we have stupid people thinking otherwise.

It's astonishing the degree of ignorance in the average American when it comes to basics like electricity, clean water, sewage system and the like. Most people today simply cannot comprehend with a thin thread that their comfortable existence is hanging by. I'm sure it's just as bad in the UK.

The pundits in the MSM and other places have been telling the average troglodyte that renew-ables like wind and solar are going to solve our energy problems. Excrement, and that's putting it as mildly as I can. You would think that Joe Sixpack could at a minimum understand that Solar Panels don't produce at night, when it's raining, or especially when covered with snow. But apparently this as escaped Joe and Jane Sixpack.

So I'm convinced that Brownouts and Blackouts are in our future. That's probably the only thing that these foolish types understand. It would probably be a good thing for the average so called "Green" to go for a few days without power or water. That is what might wake up some of these fools. And I'm at a stage where I think this might be the only thing that will wake up these idiots.
