Well DUH! This stuff has been talked about ad nauseam to no avail I guess. Cow flatulance, carbon footprints, what a fraud, what a lie and all for one reason: control, but who's listening?

Duh!! The panels come from heaven or somewhere like that,,, and they get recycled later into like,,,coffee tables or something!

PS,,, ever notice you also never hear about the importance of frequently cleaning the glass? Yellowed plasic covers or dirty glass covers result in a big drop in efficiency.

That said,, i love how the environmentalists eat their young. They look at everything thru their religion, even their things meant to save the earth,, even the email discussing it or the google search. It must make them so angry to never be able to stop breathing.

Those massive windmills that clutter the landscape of the Midwest undoubtedly chop up birds probably including some on the endangered list. There are some studies that indicate the very low frequency sounds generated by the massive blades have negative health effects for those who live around them.

For a retreat from the coming civil strife we bought lots of land off grid. It's amazing how little research is needed to discover the major deficiencies of solar and wind as energy sources. The technologies simply aren't there yet.

We need to develop a way to turn liberals into energy. The byproducts may be just as nasty, but their abundant availability makes for cheap fuel.

producing ethonol (at least from corn) is also more polluting, biofuels probably too.
