Interesting. Haven't checked all the facts yet.

Unfortunately I believe the assertion with that picture is total BS.
It's my understanding that a typical wind mill produces the same
electrical power as a 2,000 horsepower diesel generator that would
burn approximately 100 gallons of diesel fuel per hour, 2400 gallons
per day.Â* Thats 876,000 gallons per year,Â* enough diesel fuel to fill
a mile of railroad tanker cars - way more than would be needed to
produce the steel in the windmill.

Some of the fake news floating around about wind power is just
astounding and makes me wonder who is behind it and why.Â* I suppose
the usual suspects would be the petro industry.

Haven't checked those facts either.



I watched an interview with Dr. Patrick Michaels last night on
Mark Levin's Sunday evening show, "Life, Liberty and Levin".

Michaels is a highly qualifiedÂ* climatologist with academic and
professional experience that would even impress Harry.


Mark Levin is a well-known crackpot conspirationalist and Michaels is a
paid hack for the fossil fuel industry and the Cato Institute, which, by
the way, is a libertarian front for the right-wing Koch brothers. One
would not expect any of them to be supportive of the prevailing facts
and theories on climate change and its causes.

Some 98% of climate scientists believe that most of the warming observed
over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities, in
particular emissions of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane.
