Oil Billionaire Building World's Largest Wind Farm

Posted by kdawson on from the at-the-round-earth's-imagin'd-corners-blow dept.

gadzook33 writes "CNN is reporting that oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens is planning to invest billions of dollars in what will probably be the world's largest wind farm. It will eventually generate 4 gigawatts, enough to power 1.3 million homes. The first 600 GE wind turbines are scheduled for delivery in 2010. Pickens says that each turbine will generate about $20,000 in income annually for the landowner who hosts it."

    They did. The towers did not collapse due to impact or jet fuel fires on September 11, they were imploded by explosives planted by the CIA so that America would have an enemy to fear - and fear helps the Republican party.

    No wonder FDR said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!".
