Foes file challenge to tower approval: Enviromentalist Fight To Stop Wind Power.

Cape Cod (Pravda) Times ^ | 08/31/02 | JOHN LEANING

[Leisler]

All the time lefties are saying wind power, wind power. And, it turns out, they are against that too. The liars. But we knew that.

[Lockbox]

NIMBY (not in my back yard)happens

Actually, they'd be more than happy to return us to the early 1800s - until they figured out that people had to cut trees down then to keep warm & cook our food then.

They are kind of fun to argue with though, because most of the time they've never thought through the logical consequences of their positions.

Sure, if you consider beating your head against a brick wall "fun". Most of these fools have no concept of logical argument, cause and effect, or other bases of modern Western thought. The result is like arguing with a 3-year-old.

Wonder what they would doif somebody wanted to do research on a 10kw nuke reactor in their back yard.

Why such a small that would be about the right size to take a house or two off line, or run a large semi.

It works best if you get them one-on-one, and ask them questions about what the alternatives are to whatever they are protesting...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

They're all hypocrites - environmentalists would like nothing better than to kill off the majority of the world's population so they can have the Earth's resources all to themselves.

[Leisler]

"They are kind of fun to argue with though, because most of the time they've never thought through the logical consequences of their positions."

I have to agree. It is one of the great sports of our times. There should be a monthly magazine or something.

[Leisler]

Except what was needed to run their inported cars. And the ultra modern house in ski country. Oh, and for THEIR kids schoools. And the alternative theater. And the hospital. And the jets and airport that takes them to their dive trips off Austrialia............

[Vast Buffalo Wing Conspiracy]

I think this is good evidence that wind power is starting to become a viable energy source for providing for more of our electrical power needs. The envirowackos didn't mind advocating wind power when it seemed impractical.

[hoosierskypilot]

"They are kind of fun to argue with though"

Nah. I have no time to waste on fools. Neither do you.

They're what we call 'gators. You know, an alligator: all mouth and no brains.

[Cu Roi]

All the time lefties are saying wind power, wind power. And, it turns out, they are against that too. The liars. But we knew that.

And before that they were for hydro power, but now they're trying to get rid of the Dams in Idaho and Washington because the Salmon can't figure out how to use a fish ladder.

Here in Montgomery County MD Councilman Blair Ewing wants to ban new hiker-biker trails. Across the river in Virginia the environmentalists are fighting against a proposal to expand the mass transit rail system to go to Dulles Airport.

Their general strategy here is to propose a more-environmentally friendly alternative to an existing way of doing things, and once people reject the original proposal, obstruct their own position so that absolutely no development occurs.

[Leisler]

Wind power is and has always been viable. It just isn't economical. Steam ships cost more to build and run than sail ships. But they were more economical. You used fewer men; they went faster and turned around faster, carried more cargo per year than the same, or even larger sail craft. Wind generators are mechanical nightmares. These will constantly be bathed in salt. I don't know of anyone putting these in this environment. The summer will be fine, but who is going to fix these in the winter?

The only reason this is even going to begin to work is because of massive subsidies, and that regular power is online 24/7/365. It is a boutique. Lastly, I am tired of picking up the tab for something that is going to "revolutionize" whatever--20 years down the road. Been there, done that. Let them get their long-term capital from investors. Other than that, maybe they are right. I don’t think so, but good luck to them. I was just posting so that others could use this to show what B.S. the gweenies are with their talk about alternative energy.

[Leisler]

Bump!

[nightdriver]

And this Cape-based alliance has standing for this case because.............???

[jackbill]

Even Senator John Warner (RINO - VA) is opposed to it.

Why?

Senator Warner has been vacationing on Cape Cod for over 50 years. Wanna bet he owns property up there?

From 1991 to 1997 I lived in Cotuit (on Cape Cod). The windfarm is planned for about 5 or 6 miles off-shore from Cotuit. My Town Councilperson was Jaci Barton - an extreme environmentalist. She had an op-ed in the Boston Globe the other day, opposing the windfarm.

Naa...my 3 year old is way smarter than them. He at least understands cause & effect already.
But - the lefties are the direct result of our school system. Who says the old KGB funding (leftist groups in the USA) didn't do them (Soviets) any good. Sigh.

[Leisler]

Ever have an adult malt beverage at the Kettle Hoe?

[Leisler]

Because they are the anointed ones. The special, destined to fight and lead the great unwashed against the evil, greedy, vast right wing....

You know.

Oh, and the children.

[AdA$tra]

further proof that the greens are a bunch of fringe freaks who won't be happy until we are living in caves. Maybe we could strap a couple hundred of these loons to stationary bicycles to produce power. Call it an enviro-weenie farm.
