I could think of a deliberately exaggerated non-problem cynically perpetuated by alternative energy interests whose sudden “concern” for the earth is frankly sickening.

Oh, what a coincidence, many of the loudest voices also have a ton of money sunk into alternative energy… ulterior motive much?

For the record, I don't own an estate. I'm a truck driver, and I still think those things are eyesores.

However, I don't think it a bad idea to use wind power, take for exemple in Texas, they use lots of gas, which is suited well to backup wind electricity, while being less reliant on gas.

I think the idea is to reduce CO2 with any solution possible, and that's why Obama is pushing renewables. No one is for inefficients methods, i. e. wind power without backup or transmission lines.

Oh, and thank you JoAnne.

The Far Left wants all fossil fuel consumption to stop immediately, and thinks the devastation to the world economy, and the millions of dead humans that would result, would be a good consequence, not a bad one. Unfortunately, they've got true believers in elected, appointed, and bureaucratic jobs throughout all levels of government now. They have had their federal and state subsidized experiments now for decades, and the results are worse than pathetic. It is time to pull the plug. We can't afford their sandbox to play in anymore, and they've become dangerous to themselves and others.

"Why isn’t anyone mentioning the killing of birds? And other flying species?"

um…because that issue is a deliberately exaggerated non-problem cynically perpetuated by fossil fuel energy interests whose sudden "concern" for wild life is frankly sickening.

Have you even seen a modern wind turbine?

A bird is little more likely to kill itself flying into one of the giant slow moving turbines than it would be to kill itself flying into a building.

The few thousands of bird deaths from wind turbines is miniscule compared to the millions and millions of birds killed on our roads and/or by household pets.

Then there is the FACT that burning fossil fuels is already killing BILLIONS of animals and will kill TRILLIONS more (Don't believe me? Go take a look at some research on the effects of acidification on the worlds coral reefs – and that's just ONE example).

Get your head out of the sand, learn something for yourself and get used to the idea that the world needs to change.

In a speech in May, President Obama pushed for our nation to transition to renewable energy and pointed to Denmark as an example of proof it can be done:
Unfortunately. America produces less than 3 percent of our electricity through rene…
