"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)."

Not only that, but transmitting the “wind power” from where it’s generated to where it’s consumed by the urban-dwelling NIMBY watermelons requires miles of huge ugly towers and high tension lines disfiguring the rural and wilderness landscape.

So-called environmentalists don’t really care about the environment. It’s all about exercising power over other people.
