LOL! I was just thinking of Don Quixote when I read this article!

It’s called ‘Shredded Tweet’
While they can look better, vertical wind mills are less efficient because half the time a wing is being pushed into the wind, using rather than collecting energy. Extremely large/slower moving two blade designs may be the best way to go, but their foundations require enough concrete to build a small nuclear plant. The manufacture of concrete emits huge amounts of CO2. I'm still scratching my head why we should address climate change by removing large amounts of energy from the wind which causes more man-made climate change than a coal plant.

“IN” liberal dems hate Exxon - so they do the double standard thing - people they hate are held to a different standard than the ones they favor. Wind farms could kill every bird on the planet and we wouldn’t hear a peep out of the MSM...

I spent the other day driving the Great River Road along the Mississippi. There are several coal-fired power plants near the dams. Apart from the immediate vicinity of the plant, there is little visual evidence of any environmental impact.
Wind farms, on the other hand, destroy the landscape for miles.
