I found agreeable, and common ground with the
late ultra-liberal senator from Massachusetts, Edward (Ted) Kennedy in
his bitter intolerance of "wind turbines".
He was willing to use billions in taxpayer
funds to subsidize the production and dispersion of the ugly, bird-killing behe
moths with voices approaching the sound of a thousand fingernails on slate
blackboard. But he took legal action to prevent the installation of any wind-
farms (as collections of these machines are branded) anywhere within
mortar range of his Cape Cod estate-cum-compound.
Just this week a report fought its way onto
the Internet (having been eschewed by the mainstream media, naturally) that
reduces whatever argument there is about wind turbines and wind farms to some
very simple figures.
One single installation of the modern windmill cost
Port Angeles, CA citizens $100,000, give or take a few shekels.
The net production of electrical energy
produced by the Port Angeles installation of these things amounts to $1.39 a
day (about $40 monthly).

These 21st-century windmills, designed for a
sleek appearance, alas, fail to make anyone's heart skip a beat the way a design
connoisseur's should.
In addition to that, all sorts of birds--
especially seabirds when the "farms" are stuck out on a priceless virgin beach
dune-- attract hundreds of avian species and kill thousands of the hapless
flyers, many of them nearly extinct and protected by federal Law.
All this was promulgated (not invented) to
get into Uncle Sam's amd other "Gubmint" purses with the fraudulent claim that
these infernal machines would help fight (nonexistent) global warming by slowing
the use of coal and petroleum products to generate electricity for
homes.
This hoax, perpetrated by a worldwide dearth
of scientific knowledge, will haunt educated citizens of the world as long as
the world is here.
Warmists started out with a UN pronouncement
that 97% of the scientists on earth agreed that man-made global warming is
dooming civilization. They called it "settled science".
Well, any true scientist will tell you right
off the bat that the word science MEANS attacking every new theory including
one's own and especially those of the so-called "experts". This is not just a
matter of opinion but is actually the nuts and bolts and guts and lights of
scientific inquiry.
But beginning sometime in the early 1990's,
seizing on opportunity to destroy coal producers and petroleum industrialists,
scheming at the same time to bilk trillions in treasure from both the porest as
well as the richest nations, a cabal of wildeyed and foamy-mouthed zealots like
the Wobblies and Syndivalist anarchists of the 1917-1920 era, built their
scary charts and videos suporting the Chimera of "warming".
One amazing fact that has never been divulged
in mass communication other than by Internet sites like "Watts Up.com" is that
about a third of that "97% scientists" are writers, some not out of cllege and
a huge chunkk of them undergraduates and pre-doctorals who were incestuouly
ignorant as to what is "climate" and what is "weather" . They survived
academically and physically on "grants"
When the Brit poseurs were caught making up
figures for their I PCC "report" in a scandal that is recalled as "Climate
gate" the whole movement miraculously stopped using the phrase "anthropogenic
global warming" and switched over to "climate change". It was a major tipoff
that none of the newspapers except the New York Post and the London Telegraph
recognized.
Now, it's been 17 or 18 years since any change
in global temperatures has been confirmed. Both icecaps are growing. The GW marketeers violently claim
the two decade stretch of level or lowering temperatures recorded is a
"PAUSE". and that those who,like Lord Monkton, James Delingpole who strip the
"warming" emperor naked, are just "deniers".
But now that its former hydrophobic
representative J. Hansen has been relegated to the role of a lowly adjunct
professor at Columbia, NASA is making noises that sounds suspiciously like their diet now is Crow.
Who knows but that a pragmatic national
administration may ask for more than doctrinaire collectivist rubrics from the
"climate" bureaucracy and its lobbyists ?
My money is on common sense. Even a broken
clock and the Farmer's Almanac are more accurate than what we've been getting
from these well-funded harlots.
Probably the first to go will be mass
subsidies of the profitless, noisy bird killer boondoggle.
