Wind Farms are Environmentalist Worst Nightmare

Al Gore tells scares us about Global Warming via his movie full of lies called and Inconvenient Truth. Should be titled a Convenient Lie. But I digress. Basically, what Mr. Gore and his liberal environmentalist wackos tell us is that oil and other fossil fuels are bad. They are bad for man, bad for animals, bad for the weather, bad for mother earth period.


So why is it that Al Gore has a huge monthly electric bill for his mansion? Again I digress. The big question is, when we come up with ways to reduce or replace our oil consumption to produce power, why is it those same environmentalist wackos who stand in the way?


Case in point here is in Massachusetts. You have a company called Cape Wind that wants to build a wind farm. Yes, I said a wind farm. Now what is a wind farm you must be asking. It is a field of giant modern windmills that produce clean electricity from the wind. Obviously the wind is a renewable and clean source of energy.


Windmills have a nearly zero carbon foot print. The only pollution that a windmill produces is when it is manufactured. But now that we have a lot of these windmills in operation all across the globe, it is safe to say they can be produced with power generated from these windmills.


Cape Wind wants to put up a field of windmills in the Nantucket Sound. There are also proposals to build wind farms in Buzzards Bay and other areas off the coast of Mass including in sanctuaries. But of course there are those who don't want the wind farms simply because they think they are ugly or they may even kill birds.


These people have formed anti wind mill organizations to keep wind mills from being built. These are the same people who say we need to reduce our dependency on oil. Well, this wind farm was proposed a long time ago. This company is still trying to get these clean energy producing factories up and running.


Why is it that they (Cape Wind) is trying so hard? Because it is now profitable and viable. I have always said when something can be profitable more and more people will want to improve it and make it better and more available. But now that this once hippie and off the grid technology has gone mainstream, it is no longer fashionable for those who cloak themselves in self righteous environmentalism.


If the masses can use something that was once only used by off the grid hippies then it can no longer be any good and it must be opposed at all cost. No matter what good to humanity or the planet this thing is. If the masses can use it and a profit can be made on it, then they will oppose it.


Are these the people you want dictating energy or any other policy? Talk about hypocrites. Al Gore burns electricity to the tune of over $30,000 a year and still gets a Nobel Prize for his work of fiction on Global Warming.


I think you would do well to just jut a few windmills on your own property. But wait, I am sure an environmentalist wacko neighbor will go to court to prevent you from being good steward of your property and the earth.
