What is totally unamusing, however, is the harm these fanatics and complicit politicians have done, raping the landscape with their hideous wind turbines and imposing crippling taxes.

I don't think hyperventilated rhetoric of this type is any better when our side uses it than it is when it is used by our opponents.

Wind turbines are not "rape." The landscape cannot be "raped."

And I don't think wind turbines are hideous to look at. I think the economics of wind energy is dubious, but I happen to like them. I've liked propellers and fans since I was a toddler growing up in the late '50s, and I still like them today.

Granted, not everyone feels that way. But I for one think they're not that horrible.

Makes my blood boil when I think of how many coal plants have been shuttered in our state, only to reappear in India or China.

Economic suicide. Thank you, Obama.

Rape can indeed be used in this context. Check your definitions. And your premise that huge towering turbines are aestheticly pleasing is nuttier than fruitcakes, mate.

I agree with you about the amazing sight of those turbines. I like them too.

Now if they could simply be nuclear powered...........
