The greenies want renewable energy just as long as it isn't nuclear or any other source built in their backyards.

LOL! Solar panels are hideous, and even more hideous are those gawdawful windmills. Aside from chopping up birds, they march over every hill in California, destroy the view, and make a roaring noise that can be heard for miles. But I guess in the view of the greenies, anything is better than petroleum or nuclear...

And lets not forget that no one must make any money off the production of that energy.

No wind farms near the Kennedys.

No gitmo detainees at Pelosi’s Alcatraz.

Now, no solar panels in Fienstein’s Mohave Desert?

Really? Would you like to throw some more straw men up there? I've NEVER heard of the second complaint. There are legitimate reasons that we shouldn't be adopting wind power, but these two arguments aren't anywhere near legitimate.

I agree that we should be building nuclear plants. But there are issues with those. Nuclear plants are not responsive enough to deal with fluctuating demand. It takes timeframes on the order of weeks to change the output of a nuclear plant. Wind, combined with energy storage technologies can be responsive to this demand. I'm an engineer. I deal with making the peg and the hole fit together. Putting up windmills for the sake of putting up windmills is a square peg, round hole thing. But putting up windmills with a defined storage strategy that makes them fill a niche in the power generation industry is good engineering and makes use of the resources available to us.

Arguments like yours are a detriment to those of us trying to propose "common sense" solutions.

I think Sam Kinison pretty much summed it up about world hunger and deserts when he was on Letterman for his 1st appearance;

Nuke-power IS economical AND environmentally friendly though...

It is the 40 story windmills that are the worst, it seems the left wants them as visual monuments in all of the parts of flyover country that they don't live in.

I'm glad this discussion has started among the left, nuclear is an option that we can construct in attractive architecture closer to already urban areas, we shouldn't spoil our outdoors.

Watermelon. I love it.

Having said that, I actually prefer B***H for this gun-grabbing HYPOCRITE!!!

Been to her beautiful hell-hole of a desert and it’s an ideal spot for a witch like Fineswine to prep her corpulent body for the spot in which she’ll almost certainly spend eternity.
