Google just ended a four year study looking into the feasibility of renewable resources such as solar and wind power. What they determined was that these alternate energy sources were fantastically expensive and absurdly inefficient. They even question if the amount of energy used to manufacture and maintain windmills and such actually exceed the amount of energy they produce over their lives.
We could make wind turbines viable if they would harvest the shredded poultry downstream to feed the starving victims of the ongoing Baraqqi Depression.
