great post!

Wind powered generators to power the USA would require a full 25% of the total acreage of America.

Also constant and high winds

These are the reasons that wealthy lib venture capitalists do not invest in and build these alternate energy projects

Being inefficient and impractical they would lose money

As much as rich libs say they love paying taxes it does not wash

Note Bill Clinton's recent purchase of a golf course condo in Ireland will probably "tax-shield" him from his $10,000,000 book deal taxes.

Ireland has special tax exemptions for the "artist community" so many American and other artists, musicians, and writers now have homes there to evade income taxes.

So now Bill Clinton's book will claim to have been written by him alone just since he bought a home in Ireland.

Thanks for those words. I lay the blame for much of the misinformation being spread by these alternative power guru's at the feet of the public education system.

great post!"

Why thank you, autoresponder, but Boot Hill deserves all the credit! He's done a fine job of hosting this thread. I just wish I had more time to participate by kabitzing from the sidelines.

This whole subject reminds me of that funny ol liberal tune that Frank Sinatra made famous about the fact that an ant can't move a rubbertree plant. It also talks about a ram can't butt down a dam. It includes a phrase that says "he keeps buttin that dam!"

Like all dreamy liberals, (including the author of the song - I think it was Sammy somebody) it ends up with the phrase (believing in the impossible as usual) "Oops, there goes another billion kilowatt dam!" (incredible, as usual)

Anyway, what got me started on all this was farmfriend pingin me to a thread where biblewonk jumped in with some farfetched claims about tilting at windmills, like Don Quiote, that was clear off the subject and I objected to the whole "I wanna believe the damnest stuff" non-science non-sense that keeps preaching to the "true believers" that flat goes completely against the laws of physics, economics and even nature!!!

It's hard to believe this crappola is creeping into FR like the incursion of GANG-GREEN into our society in general, but it is, sadly. It's all based on liberalism's other concept of "plausible lies" which goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, so I understand it's part of human nature to wanna believe, wanna be and wanna live in delusion. Oh well... enjoy the argument, for the sake of argument. (grin) (groan) (grimace)

This is nonsense. Do the math.
