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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Even though they pose as pro-environment, they really aren't. They are ANTI-HUMAN.
