Yyyyyyyeaaahhhhhh.
78,000 Wind turbines? What a beautiful picture? And they don’t like the sight of drill rigs WAAAAAAY out in the distance on a clear day?
I doubt this would ever pass where Liberals vacation.
Sometimes you see some “study” and just know is it nothing but BS. I wonder if they consider how dangerous these windmill panes will be when they break off at 120mph and begin cartwheeling across the coast. Bet they did not consider that either.
I have lost confidence in these leftist eggheads and their “studies”.
The only way I *might* listen to them is if they agree in advance to ride out any storms in a little box perched atop one of their wind turbines. In other words, put some skin in the game before we turn them loose implementing their wet dream.
Do you think they’d agree to that? Think they trust their “studies” enough to stake their life on them?
lol you mean the turbines that have to be shut down in high winds?
This is even dumber then the guy who wanted to build huge 1000ft tall walls to stop tornadoes.
Yyyyyyyeaaahhhhhh.
They’ve been able to shut down hurricanes for decades, but the liabilities are off the scale. If you change the weather in one place, and there is bad weather in another a few days later, you would be blamed. If you stop a hurricane from battering a coast, you also stop it from watering crops inland. If you do anything to expose your wealth, income, or spending, it will be confiscated, skimmed, and redistributed.
This world sucks.
I'll put my money on the hurricane.
Hey. I got an idea. Let's put some windmill farms up around Martha's Vineyard and The Hamptons to mitigate the damage from those troublesome Nor'easters.
Louisiana is also not an ideal state for wind farms as the average 80m hub height wind speeds are moderate at best.
.........wonder if these Certified Academia Liberals will EVER get it in their sawdust craniums that 2/3 of Americans call themselves conservative and because of that ANYTHING a liberal professor says is automatically laughed at and particularly this cockamamie idea clearly dreamed up in the fog of a California pot party.
This one has crony capitalism written all over it.
I’m afraid there’s no turning back, so lets try and identify the investment opportunities here.
One suggestion though. They'll have to be portable. You don't know until the last second exactly where the hurricane will strike.
Maybe we can get a deal on those shuttle moving vehicles NASA is no longer using.
Paying dividends already.
Well. If you're in the windfarm industry anyway.
“Puny humans.”
Probably??? Well, hell, if you're THAT sure.
They would have suffered an additional $234 billion in losses, when the wind turbines ($3 million a pop) were destroyed.
Hasn’t PETA shut down these ‘windmills’ yet because of the stupid birds that keep flying into them.
The BIRDS must be the stupid ones here because I know ‘our’ Government would NEVER do anything to harm people or animals.
Do ‘birds’ come under the ‘animal’ category in the eyes of PETA?
Kind of like NAACP being ticked at the word Negro and the usage of ‘you people by one Ross Perot’, yet both words are in their title.
Almost like the group NWA (’N’ With Attitude) being upset with the ‘N’ word.
Like Amy Carter was told ‘Pick a cause and stick to it. You are NOT allowed to protest any or everything that comes down the pike while you are a student here’.
And once again the computer models predicted it so we should pay attention. Reminds me of the following section from Michael Crichton's lecture called Aliens Cause Global Warming (highly recommended reading).
To an outsider, the most significant innovation in the global warming controversy is the overt reliance that is being placed on models. Back in the days of nuclear winter, computer models were invoked to add weight to a conclusion: "These results are derived with the help of a computer model." But now large-scale computer models are seen as generating data in themselves. No longer are models judged by how well they reproduce data from the real world—increasingly, models provide the data. As if they were themselves a reality. And indeed they are, when we are projecting forward. There can be no observational data about the year 2100. There are only model runs.
78,000 windmills are cheaper and better than a seawall? {sigh} Only a study from the moronic geniuses Stanford could come up with a conclusion like that.
