I couldn't resist posting this as a little comic relief from a bunch of libs. I am making the assumption the great majority of the people in this community are libs considering the location. The turbines cost $10M and it will be $5M-$15M to deconstruct them. Another effort at green energy not being what it was thought to be.

    It's ok as long as it is not in my back yard.    

Idiot libs!!!
Foulmouth is quite fitting for a leftist community.
But I say idiots because they could auction these off and possibly save a few bucks, not that there is a real honest market demand for this crap, but someone out there would take it off their hands for nothing.

Will Obama come to their rescue and waste some more of OUR money?

Hmmm, that's a good question.
I suspect a more aggressive approach on his behalf, where investigators will be sent in to disprove this as a Conservative attempt to discredit Green energy.

Little history lesson. Once upon a time all ships used sails. The wind was free, and after the era of galley slaves, it was the only way to get around. Then along came steam, and pretty soon everyone who could afford to do so was powered by steam engines - even little harbor craft and small fishing boats. Why? Because the wind doesn't always blow - and sometimes it blows too much. So it's better to have power source subject to your control. Incidentally - seen any factories run by windmills recently? There used to be a lot of those around too, you know, mills and such.

Libs usurp the moniker "Progressive", but want to take us into the past.

And they are probably totally afraid of fracking that has a safe record that spans decades. I was in the environmental industry for a long time and I had no doubt that windmills were a guaranteed problem given that they have to be located where the air is unrestricted so their power has to be transmitted along power-lines from places where they did not exist.  Plus you add in the tiny little problem that they are not cost effective it really is a no brainier that they are more a novelty than a solution.  Yea and you have to have 100 percent capacity from another source anyway for when the wind does not blow or it blows to strong or it is to hot or too cold or they are down for maintenance.  Someone seriously has to be stupid, a liar or a con man to push these windmills as a possible solution to our energy problem.

What I like most about them, is they want everything to be solar powered - but seem to have forgotten that about half of each day is night - when everybody turns on the lights - and the need for power goes up.

Again libs prove their ignorance, rules and laws and green stuff is for the commoners not them!

And the answer is....Green socialist agenda to destroy our ability to produce.

I agree but I think they find it is easier to sell a fantasy than a reality.  They are selling to city people who have lost touch with the circle of life.  They believe that nothing bad should ever happen, that consequences do not exist and that everything man made is going to kill them.  They eat food that uses organic pesticides that are more harmful than synthetic pesticides just so they can say they are eating organic and pay more to do it too. It is just like they think the Land of OZ is really a place and Kansas is the fake nasty place.

Apparently there are enough followers that are like little kids.  How many of you told your kids that if they are good at the doctors you will get them ice cream or a toy or what ever.   Works every time and well maybe I am a bad parent but cannot say that I gave them something after the doctors every-time.   Yes disregard the pain and discomfort you are about to get ice cream.

It's just more evidence that the left are followers, they jump on every fad the left puts forward, which is why the Green/socialist BS was so easy to foist upon them, they're basically ignorant people.
I had a couple of friends that thought of themselves as thoughtful Independents that couldn't be swayed, and they thought it was so wonderful that I had a alternative energy business, because as they put it, the UN is right, we need to save the planet.
When I explained the hype behind it and how it was a socialist movement designed to kill our energy sector, they thought I was some kind of nut, that was 15 years ago, and of course time proved I was right, but these so called informed people refuse to listen to reason, which is why the left is so hard to get through to.

They believe the hype that they can personally save the planet by backing these environmental schemes, because they were swayed by emotion, not fact.
It's been an uphill battle but one I think we are actually finally winning.
