  1. The article has nothing to do with real generation on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1
    From TFA

    :..used a model which considered the theoretical limits of energy extraction from the wind to postulate some astonishing results. Low-altitude winds near Earth's surface hold at least 400 TW of power. But go higher up to altitudes between 200 m and 20 km and the winds confine a massive 1,800 TW, at least. Such an extraordinary amount of power can sustain an equivalent of 200 Earth habitations (Earth's global energy demand is 18 TW)!

    This is a similar statement to ones like "enogh sloar energy hits the Earth's surface in one hour is enough to power the entire world for a year". Just as nobody is planning on covering the world surface for an hour to collect our annual energy needs, nobody is planning on covering the earth with stacked turbines from 200M to 20,000 M.

    My local paper printed a cartoon that was less than kind to Christians. There were weeks worth of letters complaining about it, and demanding they sack the artist.

    You're a lying idiot trying to ignore how close your own precious Christians are to the Muslims you despise.

    I know you don't want to believe how easy anybody can be incited to violence, but they can be.

    If you think that writing nasty letters to the editor is equivalent of murdering the US Ambassador and other consulate staff then you must be a Muslim.

    For it to be "terrorism", it would have to be in some way terrifying. It wasn't.

    Attempted terrorism, if you must - and even if you mustn't, that's still only your opinion. I'm sure plenty of people were terrified at the time.

    And, you shouldn't attack a group of people for any percentage of them doing something you object to.

    So you're a 100% pacifist as far as war is concerned then.

    On reflection this is a simplistic answer. War where a non-conscripted army, or where there is conscription with conscientious objection allowed, is different from attacking people who are not at war. I think I agree with you about not attacking the group whatever percentage - though in some extreme hypothetical cases I might go the other way (like what if there were 100 terrorists who would go free in a plane, and one man who may or may not support them. If you could stop it by shooting it down would you?). Even here it would be a difficult thing for me to do - my beliefs and way of life all support peace, which is why I hate Islam and its teachings.

    Hell, I bet if you were honest, you would say that you sympathize with his actions (without condoning them).

    Don't be ridiculous, for one thing I cannot comprehend why he attacked a labour party camp, apparently all non-Muslims. Secondly even if he had attacked Muslims, this would be descending to their level. As I said, many Muslims disobey the Qur'an and Hadith by living peacefully with non-Muslims and treating them as equal. The security services should be ruthless in dealing with those supporting terror, people certainly shouldn't attack a mass group for the actions and belief of 6% of them.

    There are also a large number of Irish people, a significant fraction of which used to sympathise with the the IRA..... .and we managed to resolve that issue without panopticon surveillance and giving up our human rights.

    That's a good point. However the difference is that ultimately their aims were to unite Ireland. Now I know that it is a complex issue, with most people in Northern Ireland not wanting to be reunited - but ultimately the worst that could happen is that Northern Ireland could be lost to the UK. However the stated aim of Islam, as many clerics pronounce, is complete world-wide subjugation of non-Muslims, with imposition of Sharia Law. Under Sharia you won;t be able to testify in court against a Muslim - as in Pakistan if the Muzzies kidnap and rape your daughter her testimony or yours will not count against a straight "I didn't do it" from the lying Muzzie. Also you will be subject to punitive tax, not allowed to express your views open, and if you have any "disagreements" with Muzzies they will just accuse you of blasphemy and you will be killed (obviously not allowed to contradict his claim). This is what happens weekly in Pakistan, Iran, and many other Muzzie states. There is much more to lose from the Muzzie threat than the IRA.

    Timothy McVeigh and Anders Behring Breivik, both terrorists and both Christians, so by your "logic" we should watch Christians as well.

    .... and what percentage of Christians though that their actions were fully justified? If you can show that a reasonable number do then obviously the Christians should be monitored too, but I doubt if this is the case.

    What some people don't realise is that there are a large number of Muslims. A quarter of these sympathise with terrorists, and six percent saying that bombing the underground in London is completely justified. With 2,869,000 Muzzies that's 172,000 odd who think its fine to commit terrorist acts, and 717,000 odd who would sympathise with them when they do. Obviously wherever possible subservience should be targeted at the Muslims, but we all need to expect some increased level.

    In particular white converts should be subject to extra scrutiny, as they seem to be more likely to be involved in extremism. I think it was Robert Spencer who said that maybe hearing Imams calling for murder daily from a young age has an "inoculation's effect" on born Mulsims, many of whom disobey the Qur'an and Hadith by living peacefully with non-Muslims and treating them as equal.
