I actually had a greenie say we should put windmills on cars to power them.

I seen you guys joke about this on the forum, but I thought it was hyperbole only.

Boy are these global warming alarmist’s dumb.

“I actually had a greenie say we should put windmills on cars to power them.”

Back in 1977 a nuclear engineering magazine ran a satire on its inside back page. It did this every month.

In one issue, it focused on the use of windmills on cars.

I remember because that was my senior year in college and I had gone to a meeting of one of the anti-nuclear alliances. In that meeting they were so excited when one of the members started reading from the article ... till I pointed out that it was satire.

Keep it to yourself, but I am currently working on a solar-powered windmill. Or maybe a windmill-powered solar cell. Anyway, as soon as I have faked collected enough data, I'll be applying for a government grant.

I hate to oversimplify but my default response to every simpleton's 'green' suggestion is: You First.

I'm sick of reading preachy letters about global warming, selfish SUV owners, etc.

All the people supposedly concerned about the environment can cut emissions by 25% or even 50% TOMORROW by halting all use of the evil fuels they despise. No laws, no enforcement, no informing on your neighbor required.

Haha. Why not just put sails on the cars, dump the engine and lighten the load?
