A Mighty Wind

DoraLives writes "Fascinating New York Times piece regarding a proposed wind farm for Nantucket Sound. Suddenly, all the environmentally friendly locals are going ballistic over the prospects of seeing an 'industrial energy complex' in their backyard. Walter Cronkite decries it, as do many other local checkbook environmentalists. Greenpeace says 'Jim Gordon (the developer) is the real thing, there aren't many entrepreneurs out there willing to take risks to clean up the environment.' Who's right?"

There's excellent scientific evidence that self-identified "conservatives" are actually merely chronically sleep-deprived psychotics. Chronically sleeping only 6 hours a night (the average for "conservatives") shrinks the fore-brain, the seat of human civility, the ability to initiate new behaviors, and discontinue obsolete behaviors. How much do YOU sleep, Mr. Wheeldweller?

Or DON'T build it!

Let those rich b*stards live under the same environmental restraints we all have to. Let's close down their local oil and coal plants for some emissions problem (I'm sure Greenpeace or some other org will help).

I wonder if wind farms would be more acceptable then... C*cksuckers.
