Way to play with the numbers, Altamont has SEVEN thousand turbines and doesn't even produce 1 GW. Maybe you need to deal with NOW instead of imaginary projections.

It's funny to hear Rush describe those toys as huge. They are tiny. In 2002 the average windmill size installed in germany was 1.5 mw. At altamont it is less than 100kw. Altamont needs to be "repowered" but there are too many political issues preventing that. Meanwhile the new windfarms in Texas are composed of actual modern windmills. I realize you simply don't like them because you've been given your marching orders. The ironic thing is that you don't really understand your arguments at all yet use the phrase "canned answers".

So how do you feel about the Lord?

So you're "rebuttal" is to mention some idiotic claim of some idiotic radio jaw flapper I've already stated on this thread I don't listen to (and don't even know if he really made it, and given how fast and lose you are with the facts I seriously doubt it) just to "refute" it. STRAWMAN.

More insults and outright LIES. I've told you why I don't think wind power iu ready for the here and now. I never said I don't like them, I've even said I think they WILL BE the right answer in the future. Too bad your reading comprehension is too abysmal to understand that means I do like them I just realize they aren't ready for prime time.

Then you raise a 100% unrelated red herring. Thanks for proving beyond any possible doubt that you have not one single fact to back up your position. Go back and do some reading, then you'll learn the truth: wind power has promise but that promise is not yet realized.
