Well, in order to save muvver erf, sometimes some folks gotta sacrifice. Or be sacrificed.
Can’t be recycled? What the hell are they made of?
Wait until they find out that is removing farm land.
Why not supply the home of every homeowner, who wants one, with its own vertical tree top wind turbine? That can be mounted on a treetop or a post or maybe even a housetop?
Then there are the great possibilities of supplying every home with a septic system a way to make energy or fuel out of “waste”. <shrug/possibly sarcasm/or the way of the future
Seems like every half-a green plan pollutes more than the status quo. Government sponsored and subsidized climate change, green energy, et al, all seem like form of embezzlement... <shrug-jmo
John F’n Kerry has been fighting against it tooth and nail for years
I was just thinking, I know where there is a lot of wind, though some call it hot air. The biggest breezes blowing are in Washington DC. Why not put bladed windmills all over the District of Columbia to power the electricity of all the Federal buildings? Then Congress could declare itself as self-sufficient. <smirk/sarcasm
The problems is, as a consequence of state revenues that always seem to fall short because of unconstitutional federal taxes, we have the following scenario.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Constitutionally low-information state lawmakers who evidently don't have a grip on the federal government's constitutionally limited powers any more than the voters who elected them do, have to do the following. They have to regularly beg the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds to return state revenues that they stole from the states so that the states who want to experiment with wind power for example, can do so.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
The states typically "pay" for the return of their revenues, politically regarded as “federal” funding, in the form of reluctant compliance with unconstitutional federal dictates, indoctrination of school children to be entitlement-minded, Democratic supporters for example.
Corrections, insights welcome.
The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic Party-pirated federal and state governments, allegedly manufacturing crises to oppress everybody under their boots...
Consider that the states effectively have "veto power" over continued unpopular, unconstitutional actions of the feds.
More specifically, all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.
Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.
Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments (16&17A), little or no discussion required imo.
In fact, I challenge the states to ram the repeal amendment for 16&17A through the ratification process faster than Nancy Pelosi irresponsibly rammed unconstitutional Obamacare through the House. /semi-sarc
Again, insights welcome.
How will these windmills power all those electric cars the knuckleheads will force on people? Can these great structures power all these homes and cars?
How much environmental damage to wildlife and forests?
Stupid rusty old structures that will remain on all that land as a giant monument to the RAT Party idiocy.
They can’t get their ignorant Marxist crap going so they decide to destroy the land for an outdated folly.
:(
Linky thing to article about recycling them and the issues therein:
IIRC without fed subsidies (OUR MONEY), none of these projects could survive financially. Correct as needed.
Renewable energy until you have to replace it in 5-10 years
Biden’s head is so far up his ass he is choking to death
I already know what Xiden’s idea of a wind farm is, ask the Duchess Camilla.
“Burning wood is solar and wind power. The trees grew thanks to the sun and the wind that brought the rains. So when you chop a tree down or pick up the wind-fallen branches, you are using renewable energy. OK? So take your wind farms and stick ‘em where the birds won’t get chopped to bits.”
That is true but burning wood produces carbon dioxide by magic and a small increase in carbon dioxide will kill everyone on the planet and cause the ice to melt in your refrigerator and even on the equator so the oceans will be twelve and 37/41 miles deeper. Don’t you understand climate SCIENCE?
What happens when we no longer have off-shore winds because of — you know — climate change?
Gee that's a lot of power. Hmmm... wonder who'll pay for that?
Answer: Us taxpayers, that's who.
Biden continues to spend OUR money like there's no tomorrow
I wonder if he can be impeached for that?
Thank you Daily Caller for presenting the other side to this argument consisting of three paragraphs at the end of the article.
“...Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!
Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own...”
(Marilyn Bergman/Michel Legrand)
What is BOEM????
Nice birds you have there, East Coast. Would be terrible if something were to happen to them.
