"I'm not against wind power -- it is a viable form of energy generation..."

No, it's not.

Wind power is a complete disaster

"Denmark, the world’s most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant. It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind power’s unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone)."

I love it. All this earth worship and the lib-looneys still are screwing things up.

Regardless of the environmental impact of these windmill monstrosities (you should see the new one in Euclid Ohio), they’ll never admit they were wrong . . . never . . . Remember, it’s what their intentions were . . . not the results.

""I'm not against wind power -- it is a viable form of energy generation -- but it needs to be developed more carefully," Smallwood said."

The area around the base of these monstrosities should be like a buffet for varmints.

Wind power is the fastest growing component in the state's green energy portfolio, but wildlife advocates say the marriage has an unintended consequence: dead birds, including protected species of eagles, hawks and owls.

Liberals - most - never cared about bird - they cared about stealing land from citizens under the excuse protecting endangered species... Have you ever seen a liberal find a snail darter etc. on ugly land? Never.

They can always surround the blades with a metal guard, like you see on household fans.

Stick a KFC under each windmill. At least then the birds won’t go to waste.

But, seriously, why can’t these be fitted with a grill that allows air to flow through but not birds? If these windmills were being run by Exxon/Mobil, you’d have the EPA demanding it be done before they were even allowed to go online.

There's only one solution. For the good of the planet - mass suicide of the human race.

And you wonder why there is increasing interest in the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) as a real energy solution.

Unlike uranium-based reactors, LFTR's use commonly-available thorium, uses the fuel in an easy-to-make form (thorium dissolved in molten sodium fluoride salt), uses a very safe reactor design, generates a tiny fraction of the radioactive waste of uranium reactors, and best of all the waste generated has a radioactive half-life of under 300 years!

We could build 400-500 1,000 MW LFTR's and essentially replace almost every coal-burning powerplant in the country, tremendously improving the air quality. So what are we waiting for?
