The Winds Are Dying Off – So Much for ‘Green’ Energy

Since the out-of-control hysteria over global warming began, we’ve had to put up with the moronic notion that ‘green energy’ is the solution to man’s arrogant quest to control the climate. As silly as the notion is, let’s take issue with one particular form of ‘green energy’ proposed to be the savior of the planet – wind.

The proposal is to use wind turbines to create electricity and eliminate the need for coal and oil powered plants. Problem – the winds are dying off.

From the Star Tribune…

The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming — the very problem wind power seeks to address.

Those on the MDI* side of the debate have the delusional idea that man is responsible for global warming so we must be responsible for the slowing of the wind as well. Hence the idea that global warming is slowing the wind. Whether planetary warming is causing wind speed decreases or not the issue remains how can anyone actually be seriously considering placing all of our nation’s electrical needs in the hands of morons who cannot guarantee the wind will even blow?

You see, most of the idiots coming up with these non-solutions live in areas where the sun shines 300 out of 365 days so solar is something they advocate. These are the same places where the wind blows almost non-stop so combining their idea of solar energy with wind “should” solve our oil dependency problems. Well, no.

They are fighting solar and wind farms in California where most of the libtarded morons who advocate this idiocy live. If they don’t want it in their backyard, why expect me to put it in mine. Oh wait, the Star Tribune article addresses this too.

Wind measurements plotted out on U.S. maps by Pryor show wind speeds falling mostly along and east of the Mississippi River. Some areas that are banking on wind power, such as west Texas and parts of the Northern Plains, do not show winds slowing nearly as much. Yet, states such as Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia, northern Maine and western Montana show some of the biggest drop in wind speeds.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought that my view of the corn growing on the horizon would be cluttered by those silly wind turbines which more often than not would be idol like the minds of the idiots who think this crap up.

And before I go wandering off, I didn’t know that Kansas and Western Montana were along and east of the Mississippi river. Just an observation – back to the program.

We have several easy solutions for our oil dependency problems. The first is drilling our own oil. The second is a byproduct of that oil exploration called natural gas. The third is nuclear energy. And the fourth, whether Big Mouth Joe or Barry the Wonder Turd realize it or not, is clean coal. Yes clean coal.

But that’s right, these solutions would put Americans to work. Barry and Joe want Americans dependent upon them for their livelihood therefore they can’t be put to work that would be counter productive to their revolutionary socialist agenda.

People when are you going to realize that climatic changes are cyclical? When are you going to realize that the climate is no where near as warm as it was when the Vikings settled Greenland? When are you going to realize that the earth is likely to get much cooler before the catastrophic rises in ocean levels predicted by Al Gore’s Power Point Presentation An Incomplete Deception?

You people have bought a bill of goods and it is one that no one is prepared to pay for. As our nation faces an economic crisis on a scale which we are currently dealing with it is preposterous to think that we can implement tax policies designed to drive up cost and eliminate more jobs. You can pretty much count on a full-blown depression if the President’s environmental tax on energy passes.

I would like to know how Barry the Wonder Turd expects those millions of poor people to pay their electric and gas bills if he implements that tax. Especially when no one will be working thanks to him. And they are supposed to be the Party of the working class and the poor?!?

Note: For the record – the news source cited is full of AGW BS in my opinion. I only offer it as a source to confirm that there is an observation that wind in this country is not very reliable.
