Hypocritical environmentalists supported wind power until the cost/benefit started looking reasonable.
Now, wind power murders birds, disrupts bats and are an eyesore across our land.
Hypocritical environmentalists supported natural gas until we found hundreds of years worth of supply under our feet.
Now, natural gas is evil, unsafe and needs to be stopped.
The pattern is clear.
Enviros stopped worrying about it when governments cut off the subsidies. The current technology is simply not advantageous. Maybe someday they'll figure out to build some sort of magnetohydrodynamic device or grid that charges up as the air passes overhead. Until then, everybody knows it's just a waste of perfectly good steel, aluminum and fiberglass.
