Welp, I see you're getting the usual, ignorant responses regarding windpower.

Well mahageezer, why don't you enlighten us know nothing cretins about wind power first instead of going on a knee jerk ad hominem attack.

Oh, sorry. I must've been mistaken in thinking you were one of those we tried to enlighten in the past (your name rang a bell). 'Wonk (especially) and I have posted time and again about how wind turbines don't slice birds, they do make economic sense, the wind is always blowing somewhere, and the real issue is the grid which, after the big NE blackout, we all know needs a major upgrade anyway.

Yet, of all the FReeper detractors we've run into -- the ones who, like Rush, pass judgment while knowing nothing, apparently because some "conservative" might accuse them of being an enviro-whacko if they give a hint of thinking windpower's anything but totally stupid -- the vast majority have no intention of weighing the facts, and are blissfully happy to keep on p*ssing into the wind.

So, if I was mistaken to lump you into that category which we have come to refer to as "FRetarded," I sincerely apologize.

Here are some sites where you can read up on wind energy:

• Wind Power Facts
• Cielo Wind Power
• GE Wind Energy
