To find the person who said that wind turbines doesn't produce any electricy - search the blogs of "FORMOSA" and look for visitor challenge. BTW, for some reason I couldn't reply to you postings. I think I'm blocked
I think this is the third time I'm posting this. Now Effie, why on earth would you keep deleting this? Maybe because its a bit of a reality check about how off base you and others were about your wild claims? Here's the link... http://www.pickensplan.com
So how about stopping your creative editing and if you don't like it share with us why you don't instead of suppression opinions and content.
Here is the direct link to Picken's plan. www.PickensPlan.com I am a but surpised that Effie and Anne in the midst of our energy crisis have gone quiet on this topic. But I guess that says volumes.
Here's an interesting article about T. Boone Picking's plan to reduce America's oil dependence.

Comments are invited, but I suspect as I mentioned in my previous posting that the recent runup in energy costs pretty much put a dagger in the heart of the anti-wind's movements central argument that wind is not financially feasible. I'd be interested in hearing a counterview if any exists.
I'm just more than a bit curious what Effie, Anne, and other anti wind content contributors of this site have to say about the high price of oil, electricity rates and natural gas in context of the old argument that wind energy wasn't cost effective. I think the price of energy has at least doubled since this site went up. All of a sudden, these wind farms are started to look like a pretty good investment.
Another significant benefit for the environment is moving forward
Here's an interesting article in the plattsburgh republican.

BTW - in case anyone is interested. My own observations are that these turbines are extremely quiet. A fanstastic engineering feat.
Here is a chance for even the NIMBY activists to join into the green revolution. Apparently NOBLE is going to spin off from J.P. Morgan with a public offering. It would be a chance to support the environment and to possibly profit as the local communities have with this clean alternative energy source.

Amazing isn't it? All the early hype about towns not getting any tax benefit seems to have evaporated as the benefits keep pouring in. Here is another recent article about school budgets increasing and taxes decreasing. Wonderful story isn't it?

Effie, why is it that you limited people's ability to post responses to your postings?
