To even have a country like China come out and say WE have to bear the burden of ripping our economy to shreds to do something that they will NOT do and surpass our emissions anyway is a bunch of crap...... Dumbass - Ripping our economy to shreds? Would you rather pay American engineers from General Electric to build windfarms or pay Saudi Arabian princes $70/barrel for oil? Exxon tried an oil shale project, the Colony 2 project in the 70s and 80s, in Colorado. The Saudis didn't like the threat to their cash cow and raised production to such a high level (they have a 12 million barrel/day capacity) that Exxon had to close the project at a cost of $5 billion in 1980 dollars. Wind farms and solar are viable at a price of $60-70/barrel, but only if the price stays up there long term. The investors know that a repeat of the Colony 2 project will happen if they try that. So they don't go for it and I don't blame them. There is only one entity that can change that: our government, by doing a price support the same way the do for butter and sugar. But it won't happen. The energy interests that don't have alternative energy subsidiaries will throw their lobbying against it. In the meantime, idiots such as yourself will be against alternative power produced by domestic producers and instead you'd rather give it to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela or King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. And, as such, we have to get involved in ****holes like Iraq, a place where we've already spent $400 billion and wasted our good soldiers' lives when we could just let them fight amongst themselves, like we do with the entire continent of Africa. Nice job of patriotism, you ****ing moron. thanks, K. Gringioni. You do not know what I want you piece of ****....... You KNOW me and where to find me. I am through wasting my time..... Go try to convince the Chinese, etal. of your vast knowledge Moron - You stated that clean energy would "rip our economy to shreds". I gave you an example of how it wouldn't. Domestic wind power. Made by Americans, paid for by Americans. Instead you want the status quo, giving the money to Venezuela, Mexico, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia in exchange for their oil. Nice job of patriotism, you idiot. thanks, K. Gringioni. BULL**** assbag! You show me where I EVER said that! I SAID making drastic changes to just OUR economy would be devastating..... Dumbass - How would spending money on local energy sources be devastating compared to sending it to OPEC nations? Seems like to me that it would be good for our economy - hiring American companies to manufacture windfarms and the like. Sorry to see that you are pro-OPEC, perhaps not in word, but in deed. thanks, K. Gringioni. |

concern over the noise produced by the rotor blades, aesthetic (visual) impacts, and sometimes birds have been killed by flying into the rotors. Most of these problems have been resolved or greatly reduced through technological development or by properly siting wind plants. Well Hell!! I am SURE that is enough info for YOU to plunk down your initial 100K investment right????? Dumbass - I already stated that massive investment in wind farms would need federal price supports because the energy market is subject to OPEC manipulation. If they see too many alternative sources coming on line, they raise production until the price goes down far enough to kill the alternative projects (like the Exxon Colony project I referenced earlier). Then they cut their production again after the alternative projects are dead. Nice to see that you are pro-OPEC. thanks, K. Gringioni. |

It's really pretty simple. Why can't she stop to refuel? Do you think it's worth another $200,000.00 of taxpayer money per round trip to save her an hour? Gee.. how fscking funny. Considerinmg that your hero, g.w . the lesser not only suggested a military plane but thinks the non-stop flight is a good idea as well. Gotta love con-hypos. As long as something serves their party, then all is good. |

How long before they're obsolete? How much energy they return? I really think you ought to put your life savings into wind turbines because the WSJ said they're "close" to being "economically viable" even "without subsidies". See, you're not as stupid as they say. When you can't defend your argument, attack an argument that I didn't make. But you knew that - I think (giving you the benefit of the doubt). Curtis L.

They never research anything with anyone other than liberal commie plotters. Neither do those damned Germans who suck at engineering and never get anything right. That's why they use windpower everywhere. Only people with no understanding of engineering would go there. Bill C I knew that. Just checking to see if you did.

You have some kind of controls to keep the wind stable? Storage of power? I'm not sure where you got from my comments that I own a wind turbine or even do research on it. And while I've done my share of odd jobs in my life, I don't claim to be a research anything or ever to have done it in my past, once I got out of business school. Unless the odd tax question counts. Try again - I read an article in the WSJ. My sole claim to authority was that I read an article in the WSJ. My choice is to believe you (congratulations on a post without obscenities, BTW) and Mr. Bull, or believe the WSJ. In this case, I choose, yes, the WSJ. To actually anser your question (to differentiate me from Mr. Bull), no, I can't control wind stability enough to keep my Stetson on my head. Storage of power is plugging the phone and tablet PC to the wall at night. Do either of these count? Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels... |
