So you have noticed “T. Boone’s Wonderful World of Green” too . All will be revealed soon! HE has sunk a lot of cash into wind, but something tells me the taxpayers, at least in Texas, are going to be sinking a lot more into it. He and corporations like BP really pi$$ me off sometimes. They are bowing to the AGW hoax and environmentalists in the name of improving consumer relations. But all they are really doing is lending credibility and perpetuating the AGW hoax and the alternate/renewable fantasy. T Bone fooled me, I thought he would use all that cash to buy Oklahoma State an NCAA championship. :)
Quite frankly I’d rather put money into an energy that keeps our money at home and not give countries that wish us harm more money for oil. Oil has us captive and is destroying our economy. Changes must be made. Drilling for now is a temporary fix but we must change or this will happen again in the future. The fact that wind and natural gas is cleaner energy is only an added bonus.
The place where wind power makes sense on any larger scale is on the high plains where he lives. It doesn’t make much sense elsewhere except on an individual or small group scale, like the windmill my grandfather had at his small house in a small town until we grandsons spent so much time climbing on it that he became scared for us and took it down. You can’t put a windmill in your car, as I once pointed out to one of these enviro erdgeist nuts on Ollie North’s show.
Ol’ Boone does have a point that we can greatly expand the use of natural gas but he is simply wrong that we can’t drill our way out of the problem. We can certainly drill and mine our way out of it, along with reformulating oil fuels, and do so within a couple of years.
