The city of Addison, TX spent 6 million dollars to build a water tower, of which 1.1 million was spent on wind turbines on top of it to power the thing. The put a classrooom in the bottom to teach the kiddies all about wind energy... a classic Liberal boondoggle.

Now they are having to pay $112,000 to remove said turbines due to damage. It seems that they went up there to perform regular maintenance and found they were all shot up. Realizing they were a danger to the populace as they were no longer structurally sound, they had to anchor them down to prevent them from flying off with the wind and decapitating someone.

1.2 million dollars pissed in the wind for a liberal “feel good” project at the taxpayer’s expense.
