Reminds me of my vacation in California just before the election. I was driving with my wife through the San Joaquin valley towards San Jose when I noticed the hillside covered with literally hundreds of windmills – and not a single blade was turning. I proceded to bust out laughing. When my wife asked me what I was laughing at, I told her it was our country’s green future. Little did I know I was just witnessing another devastating effect of global climate change.

The article actually blames global warming for decreased wind, but it should be worth noting for reasoning why alternative means of power generation, such as nuclear, should be used.

“Funny, they never mention such things when talking about global warming – which is often the result of sensors being put too close to parking lots.”

Or directly in line with the back end of jet engines at the airport…

I always said the “green jobs” they talk about all the time was going to be people to spin the windmills by hand when the wind isn’t blowing.

Pro, how about putting a politician behind everyone of the windmills? That should provide enough wind to keep them spinning.

Just a question. Are we talking ultra-high-frequency here pro, or merely 60 cycles per second? You know, the power that runs your toaster.

Here’s a better idea for renewable energy.

Hook these jack-off scientists directly to transformers.

The up-and-down hand motion has got to create enough energy to power multiple planets.
