But we need to save the planet at all cost. We can build smaller houses, buy electric cars, have fewer children and become vegetarians. Its for the greater good or so I am told. No ?

So what is used to produce the electricity that is used to charge the electric cars? (The Save The Planet crowd hates this question!)

Thank you, but your report is unnecessary. Poppins is already on top of that.

Lol natural gas plants shut down so the local radicals blame windmills. Typical. Anything and everything is an opportunity to flap your mouth when you're a zealot.

Could have built productive plants with the money that went into planting windmill seeds on windmill farms that make windmills that produce energy only when the wind blows. That is not being a zealot. That is good sense.

What people should be asking, is why those natural gas plants shut down.

Look at the budgeting.

The problem with wind powered cars is that you can't drive them directly into the wind and it is difficult to tack on a highway. Plus, roads are racist these days.

Maybe they can provide some insight on what to do with all the parts when they have to be replaced and only a few landfills will even take them......

Who blamed windmills? I didn't see anyone blaming windmills. Just pointing out the facts about them. Like how they only generate power when the wind is blowing. How they cannot meet the demands of the grid (even with millions more being built) and how there is no plan for what to do with the parts when they reach end of useful like which is currently happening across the US.
