"Great River Energy and its participating member cooperatives today launched Revolt, a first-of-its kind program that allows cooperative members to upgrade the electricity used to fuel their vehicles to wind energy at no additional cost.

Renewable sources are already part of Great River Energy’s power mix, but the Revolt program provides a more direct connection between wind energy and the electric vehicle driver."

[dynoman]

Apt name I'd say!

[dynoman]

Not satire!

[Bob]

I immediately pictured a Volt under full sail. :=)

[C210N]

Are wind-powered airplanes next?

[freedumb2003]

"Sir the people are revolting."

"You said it -- they stink on ice!"

[Blood of Tyrants]

How do they route the electrons generated from wind energy differently than from other sources. They all flow down the same wires, don’t they?

[backwoods-engineer]

What a load of fascist crap.

[dynoman]

They can’t reroute wind energy to specific loads, it mixes in with all the rest.

It’s pure unadulterated head-in-the-sand feel-good PC PR.

[hal ogen]

The gall of these leftists! The logic centers in their brains have burned-out. Fools.

[Last Dakotan]

...allows cooperative members to upgrade the electricity used to fuel their vehicles to wind energy at no additional cost.

No cost to them, just to the other rate-payers

[WayneS]

Complete bullsh!t would be a more accurate names.

[Fresh Wind]

They get the liberal suckers to sign up for the “green” electrons, and later on, they up the price.

[hadaclueonce]

They can’t reroute wind energy to specific loads, it mixes in with all the rest. It’s pure unadulterated head-in-the-sand feel-good PC PR.

But, it makes them feel special, all required to be a good progressives.

[NathanR]

Yes, they are here, and are called gliders.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I know, I guess it was a rhetorical question.

[dynoman]

Not really, there are people who believe the actually get wind energy when they sign up and pay for it.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

From the MNRevolt page: "You'll still have to pay for the energy you use, but you'll be able to do so knowing that when you go electric, you'll always be going green."

AH - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA! Yep, the progressive fools will be in ecstasy when they sign up for this program!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

[Blood of Tyrants]

Where do they get their electrical energy when the wind isn’t blowing?
