How about hiring leftists to crank the turbines by hand?

Why don’t liberals like nuclear power? Nuclear produces zero of the dreaded greenhouse gases.

You mean doing actual work?

Don’t have time as they are much to busy protesting something/anything.

Why do they have to use wind turbines, known to chop up birds? Why can’t they use tidal power, wave power or other forms of water power, since they have coastline and many rivers?

Why don’t they use non-bird harming turbines? There are several new designs for this.

Tybee would have to invest an estimated $134,000 in shipping and installation expenses but could save more than $400,000 in electricity costs over the 20-year life of the turbine.

Is it me, or do the savings seem a bit skimpy?

I still have a plan in the works to reward homeless people
with a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich
to run in a human-sized hamster wheel to generate electricity.

Of course the turbines will hurt birds. Bats, too. With the Gulf Stream current going right past the Georgia coast, you’d think they could generate some electricity just by putting a turbine in the sea.

Put the turbines someplace where they will shred DemocRats and RINOs instead of birds. Then they can perform a dual function.

Windmills have become an icon in the religion of leftism.

And this is why even alternative-energy sources will fail.

The Whump-Whump-Whump of the wind turbine will drive away the tourists by the car load.

Tybee Island is a great place and I’ve enjoyed myself there a couple of times but a huge Wind turbine is just going to make it a miserable experience after a few hours in it’s presence.

Well, the Feds have already said “Screw the birds” for the next 30 years, so I imagine the state will be sued by environmentalists if they try to protect the birds by denying the wind farms.
