Just realized ~ we can take one of those e-cat devices and double-mount it with the windmills and use a fan belt to keep the blades turning even when the air is still.Or a wind-powered car!

BUT, if E-Cat works out, we'll know next month, If E-Cat works out, they'll need the energy to melt the ice in hell.

Wasn’t it a couple of years ago that T. Boone Pickens dropped his interest in wind generated power because he discovered it was a money losing operation?

Wasnt it a couple of years ago that T. Boone Pickens dropped his interest in wind generated power because he discovered it was a money losing operation?The people working for T. Boone Pickens forgot that wind farms require a transmission line and associated infrastructure necesary to carry the wind power to market. He committed to buying close to $1Bn worth of GE wind turbines, then discovered he had no transmission where he wanted to put them: FAIL.
He and GE quietly went to work selling these turbines to other people so as to avoid an even bigger publicity fiasco.

The problem with wind is a problem that is not amenable to tech type efforts.
Sometimes the wind doesn't blow. Unfortunately, this often happens on those hot hazy sweltering days when the demand for electricity is at its highest. So, you have to have enough supply without wind-energy to cover those times, so what good does wind do?
Maybe the tech types can come up with cheap Terawatt-hour energy storage, so power generated on windy days could be saved for a sweltering day. Pumping water uphill into a reservoir for hydro power later might do it, but the economics....

And install one windmill for every square mile of the United States
And we figure out a way to make the wind blow consistently
.....
Liberal thought processes are scary.....maybe we should start calling Democrats the Anti-Engineering/Business Party
If they want to call us Anti-Science pfff

Another possible translation; We now have enough of our corporation moved out of the US that Congress can no longer cut our throat and the enviroweenies can take a flying leap.
