Excellent interview with Jerry Patterson, Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office. Manages to poke Teddy Kennedy and the tree-huggers right in the eye!

Why in the name of Sam Houston is the state of Spindletop messing with wind?

From the article:

Q: Do the bird people appreciate your sense of humor?

A: I talked the Audubon Society and told them, "Don't worry about this, after several generations we'll have smarter birds." They did not think that was funny. The other thing I told them was wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico would be the first line of defense against avian flu. These people have no sense of humor. You can't break the ice with them.

-—interesting shot of him with what Washington, D.C. Mayor would probably call an “automatic assault revolving pistol”—pinged banglist—

[CindyDawg]

Yeah and I think we put all of them on I10, east of El Paso.

[CindyDawg]

Funny guy. He has to be a freeper. Can yall imagine the energy these things could produce from a hurricane ...as a Friend pointed out though...as long as they don't come flying in’)

Here's some more info on wind turbines.

[devane617]

One big problems looms with wind-energy here in Texas: No way to get the power from the turbines to the grid. If I understand correctly, it will cost 8 billion to build infrastructure to handle wind energy to grid. Taxpayers will foot the bill.

Must read!

From the article:
You were the author of the Texas concealed handgun legislation. Is it true you carry a gun in your cowboy boot?
Yes.
Does that help break the ice with the Audubon people?
I guess as long as I don't have it loaded with birdshot they're ok with it.

Patterson is a great example of a public servant!
