Ancient windmill technology...?

That's too modern.

I suggest the government offer tax credits for "green technology" firepits in caves.

Oh, wait...!

“Environmentalists” used to oppose the erection of large electricity transmission pylons & cell phone towers, on the basis that they were an ugly blight on the landscape. Now, they want to erect tens of thousands of much larger, noisier, and more intrusive wind turbines. Go figure.

Wind power is a complete disaster

Denmark, the world’s most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant. It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind power’s unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone).

Even the Cape Cod Times!
The Real Cost of Wind

...National Grid currently pays 9.2 cents a kilowatt-hour for electricity from coal, natural gas and nuclear generators, which it distributes in Rhode Island. It will pay Deepwater Wind 24.4 cents in the first year of the contract, plus an escalation of 3.5 percent a year for the 20-year term....
