Wind farms: even worse than we thought…

Here’s an idea.... find a way to harness the flushing of a toilet to produce energy. We’ve all got to flush, why waste the waste? Why not put a paddle wheel in the line so we can power up the coffeemaker? Or harness the methane from the septicc tank?

Of course, the bad thing is that the libs would be able to produce more energy because they are naturally more full of crap, so they would realize a greater return on their investment, but at least it’s a fart with a start.

I dream of the day the world lets the countries of Sharia law fall from their own idiocy. Oil is the only thing keeping them from being worse off then Africa

Why don’t we hook one up about 50 yards downwind from the Empty Suit? We’d all be in high cotton.

There needs to be a mechanism whereby government agencies lose funding if they make really stupid decisions like our own Mr. Chu.
Furthermore there needs to be some was to make people personally responsible. Obama wanted to fund not ready for prime time ventures and pushed ours along ( i realize the article is about Great Britain but there’s not difference in the stupidity)so there should be a measure of responsibility at his level as well. We taxpayers deserve some protection from the whims of our ruling class.
I understand the first words out from the other side will be the overused ‘chilling effect’ but i prefer to think of potential sanctions more as a pause to make sure you’re right and not rushing headlong and dragging us into their own personal abyss.
We,the people, are entitled to a measure of recourse against the mindset of “but we’re the government” or worse yet,”we won”.

Ca you imagine the bloodbath if those tyrants didn’t have oil money to subsidize their peoples lives or to purchase their loyalty?

[Wpin]

Those are really good ideas...let me know how they work out for you. Me, I will keep my toilet and septic doing what they are supposed to do... ;)

Thanks for posting these links, I had never heard of this before. I suspect I am one who would be affected by this, migraines sufferer, motion sickness sufferer etc, yep I'll stay away from wind turbines.

Excellent idea. Then the EPA could require that all toilets be installed on the uppermost floor, or maybe even the attic.

Think of the power we could generate!!! We should patent that idea.

Delingpole has such a way with words. I always enjoy reading his posts.

"if those tyrants didn’t have oil money to subsidize their peoples lives or to purchase their loyalty"

Think of Africa it is rich in resources yet starvation is often ramped. If those idiots in the middle east had no oil that we pump out for them they wouldn't be able to feed themselves at all. Eating would be their primary issue which would over ride everything else even Sharia law. Terrorism would be a non issue

I dream of the day we get away from Oil

[chainsaw]

Should we plant more trees or cut more down??

I think these prognosticators should be ashamed of their stupidity!
