Windmills do not work that way

Came across this article about how wind farms are 'quietly spreading' throughout the United States. Sounds ominous to me. Why are these windmills sneaking around? If these Dutch-descended monstrosities honestly wanted to provide clean electricity, create tax revenue and generate jobs they would not be so quiet. Their builders would be touting the benefits from the top of some sort of tall structure, possibly with a turbine attached.

According to that article only one percent of U.S. energy comes from wind. Personally I'd like to keep it that way, or even decrease our dependence on foreign-generated breezes. That's right, where do you think this wind comes from? Certainly not out of thin air. No, millions of Chinamen are exhaling this very minute to create this precious 'renewable resource.' It won't be so renewable when they hold their breath for five minutes. Do we really want our power capabilities beholden to the whims of some jerks on the other side of the world? Seems risky.

But experts say that we could see 20 percent of U.S. power coming from wind in 20 years. And thousands of turbines are being constructed as you read this. Where's the foresight? Wind is unpredictable. What if it reverses direction and begins sucking the energy OUT of the power grid. Didn't think of that, did you, you eco-bastards. Relying on the natural processes for power, it's just nonsense. Next you'll be saying air should power our cars. What? Oh now you've gone too far.

Not to mention this zephyr pyramid scheme will put millions of American farmers out of work. What happened to ethanol, the most successful and environmentally friendly alternate energy choice ever conceived? A few Marxists cry 'third world food riots' or 'dwindling corn supplies' and moving air becomes the answer? You can't even see it. It's invisible (and thus, inherently unreliable) unless you have some sort of wind detection device, like a flag.

Even 'legendary oil man' T. Boone Pickens as turned turncoat. You may remember his philanthropic efforts to buy Oklahoma State and end the science curriculum there. Now he is betraying everything he stands for by supporting this blowing menace. And the list of betrayers doesn't end there, even probably insane presidential candidate John 'Walnuts' McCain and his army of babies has been romanced by the thought of electricity by the gust.

If you doubt the deadly threat posed by wind power, watch this chilling video and you may just change your mind.
