Would you rather pay American engineers from General Electric to build
windfarms or pay Saudi Arabian princes $70/barrel for oil?

In the 1930's the Morgan Company built the world's biggest wind
generator.
Until a decade ago it was the largest on record. It was also as efficient
as
the most modern one's today.

Dude, you're an idiot. 1930's tech=2000 tech?

No, I'm an engineer - what was it you said you do for a living again? Oh,
that's right - you're an inheritance baby.

That's like saying the propellor of a 1930s plane moves air as
efficiently as a modern jet turbine (the same fluid dynamics advances
apply to both turbines that move air and turbines that are moved by
air).

You really don't have a clue do you? Maybe you'd like to explain why most
of the early aerodynamic sections in the design book were put there by the
Wright brothers? Wait, - obviously because they were stupid and today's air
is a lot different from that of 1905.

Here's a clue Henry - if you don't understand what you're talking about
perhaps you ought to study the subject beyond a wikipedia entry.
