This just in: "Retiring" things that we build someday may have unspecified costs associated. I guess we shouldn't build anything. Oh, wait, unless maybe it gives us free energy literally from the wind for generations... maybe that reason.
Ha! true enough. Oh, to answer your question of "Why Here, of All Places?", ATM there are more than 500 postings. Subtracting our comrades from the other side of the world and other trolls, I'd say that there are still at least 200 postings from your average Slashendotters, which is good enough traffic by/. standards.
Why would someone walk away from all the sunken costs of infrastructure, permits, etc.? This type of thing is why there are huge startup costs, and a reason for subsidies of some sort.
And the advantages of location (assuming average due diligence in determining site location) just because the machinery is worn out? I can see that with, say, a coal mine where the seams are simply used up, so you have to go someplace else, but a windy pass is a windy pass, f'rinstance, so there's no incentive to go somewhere else.
PS: sorry, I just re-read your post and realized that you were comparing to solarfarms. So, in the above, replace wind references with solar, and windy passes with deserts, and I believe the statements still stand.
I quote "For example, the copper in the wires used to transmit power from the turbine to the grid will have to be stripped of its plastic insulation, a task which would entail serious labor costs." Now tell me that doesn't sound like utter BS disingenuous facts twisting.
Agreed. I daresay there are tens of thousands of experienced copper recyclers living in America's projects.
I love looking at human engineering. Watching a windfarm in the desert at sunset is just stunning.
I know it's always been in style appreciate nature, watching rodents destroy downstream communities, f'rinstance, and to denigrate human works. But what is it about humans that make them unnatural?
An upside-down 5-gallon bucket & a clipboard. Best office I ever had, & it was portable.
From Rompco, the new, modern Porta-Botty! It's a seat! Follow the easy instructions and now it's a toilet! But wait, there's more! Act now and we'll throw in the clipboard, free! Just add postage and handling.
No, dammit. It was already done. Indians were persuaded to "own" plots of their reservation in Oklahoma. Speculators moved in and proceeded to chop, slice and dice. Please don't help in the destructions of the first nations. Thank you.
Yeah. When Reagan let the Fairness Doctrine lapse, the floodgates were opened. It no longer paid to be even-handed or to consider other points of view.
And when it comes, they will have spent years brain-washing^W^Wadvertizing^Wpersuading^W"informing" 'tweeners that they simply *must* have the latest chip installed into their face. It will come in pretty, customizable colors, matched to their mood, with cute little "Hello Pussy" and other cartoon images. It will be always on, always fun!
Look around you. Most people dont understand self discipline, even as a concept, any more. Its just noise to these kids, a phrase thay recognize but dont truly understand
Don't just blame the kids, bucko! We *invented* this shit.
(for the uninitiated, one could find threads with dozens or more peoples saying me too. It was *always* attached to an OP asking "where's the porn?". This was right after AOL integrated USENET.
I took a look. Yah, he pretty much stepped on his dick with those stats. Presumably he didn't reply because he understands his mistake.
Ha ha, we all know it doesn't work that way.
OT: you put a link in a reply to me a cupla months ago to "Mad World". The thought that I might have gone through this life without witnessing that performance brings a tear to my ear. I thank you, sir.

But people in their right minds are in very limited supply in the former american republics.
Nonsense. The US is full of right-minded citizens.

Excellent, my first lol of the day. A little paper gold star for you!

Good call :)
I know a few places where if you stood and yelled The Word We Must Not Say, you'd be introduced to a tragic circumstance.
Why do you spell "declaration" as "deceleration"? It's really got me curious...
Simple physics. Deceleration is conservative, and acceleration is liberal.
Here's a fun part...

Personally, I just use a mirror. But...
IANAL

Freedom Air! I like that. I recommend we start calling all ACs "Freedom Airs"!
