Al Gore is with Kleiner Perkins looking to invest in windmills and other renewable energy technologies. His scares the kids and their parents to death and then says ‘buy my windmills to save the world.’ Any other ‘preacher’ trying to make money off this extortive fear of global warming would be tarred and feather - but Gore gets a free pass. He is looking more like Elmer Gantry every day.

The only good thing I can say about their idiocy, is that it does force us look ahead, to branch out and look at other resources. In that sense, it's not all bad. But, at the same time, it is sheer idiocy that, since 9/11, we do not have more clean coal plants, pebble bed nuke plants, recycling of nuke waste, more drilling where the oil and natural gas is, more refineries (even with all the strict EPA standards), and on and on.

There's no excuse for it.

NIMBY? Still no excuse. We have plenty of wide open space.

You want to put one of these plants in my "back yard"? Do it!

Southwest of Tucson, there is miles and miles of nothingness. Put a plant out there, over a ridge, and no one will know it's there! I ain't real worried about it! If you did it right, you could probably even make any ranchers that might be out there happy!
