Obama to talk up wind power on Earth Day in Iowa

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama’s return to Iowa gives him a chance to mark Earth Day with a pitch for his alternative energy plan and environmentally friendly jobs.

The visit to the state that launched him on the road to the White House comes as Obama’s energy legislation has slowed in Congress, with skeptical Republicans and some Democrats from coal-producing states fearing the plan will increase costs for consumers, send jobs overseas and hurt businesses.

In financially struggling Newton, Iowa, Obama planned to tour - then highlight - Trinity Structural Towers wind energy plant as a model for job creation and energy production in a town whose biggest employer was sold and then stopped operations.

Obama to talk up wind power on Earth Day in Iowa

Libber tree huggers are basically stupid. Let me tell you why. Look very closely at this picture.

Those wind towers are BAD according to many of the tree huggers, friends of Mother Earth, Save the Planet, whatever name they go by.

Back in 2001 I was involved in a project that was placing the very towers you see in this picture. We were up on the side of a huge hill in Wallula, WA. It was a joint project of the state of Washington, their utility company and the D.O.E., it was all about putting up highly efficient towers to generate CLEAN electricity.

These towers would have been going up on the Oregon side of the river had it not been for the enviroNAZIs that were protesting, blocking access, filing law suits and so forth to stop Oregon from installing towers too. Washington was having none of it, they wanted the towers badly. Oregon let the enviroNAZIs run all over them and stopped the state cold in it’s tracks.

Why were the enviroNAZIs so adamant in their protests you ask? Prairie dog towns. Prairies dogs. Gophers. Rodents. There happened to be a prairie dog town on that particular hill and as far as these moonbats were concerned, the entire ecosystem of planet earth was going to collapse if these towers went in and disrupted the prairie dog town. Prairie dogs for crying out loud!

If you’ve ever driven in southern California, along I-10, I am sure you saw the wind towers out close to Banning and Cabazon. The enviroNAZIs have tried to have all of those towers stopped too. Why, you ask? It seems that there is a bird in SoCal that is really stupid, it flies into the blades of the towers. Poor bird. I am not making this up! The birds get disoriented by the moving blades and make kamikaze runs ON the blades, so, eco-idiots believe those towers are bad too, birds die, hence, the towers must go. Yeah, makes sense to me.

Happy Earth Day!

Windmills split upstate NY town and families

LOWVILLE, N.Y. - “Listen,” John Yancey says, leaning against his truck in a field outside his home. The rhythmic whoosh, whoosh, whoosh of wind turbines echoes through the air. Sleek and white, their long propeller blades rotate in formation, like some otherworldly dance of spindly-armed aliens swaying across the land.

Yancey stares at them, his face contorted in anger and pain.

He knows the futuristic towers are pumping clean electricity into the grid, knows they have been largely embraced by his community.

But Yancey hates them.

LINGLEVILLE, Texas — Johnny and Tesa Whitley bought 350 acres in rural Erath County to raise horses and enjoy the breathtaking sunsets, but their view is now marred by something they never expected: two dozen wind turbines.

The 400-foot-tall turbines tower over trees atop ridges, some just a mile away. At night the structures’ bright red lights blink intermittently, even reflecting in their lake, Tesa Whitley said.

“We had a beautiful horizon, and now all we see is turbines,” she said.

Erath County residents band together to fight wind turbines

I want my readers to see what pure idiots look like. The people featured in these 2 stories have NO idea how much worse it could be if they were subjected to *other* forms of electrical power generation in their immediate neighborhood.

The folks in Lowville, New York sound more like a case of *sour grapes* story, maybe Dad didn’t consult angry little Johnny before he allowed wind towers to be built on *family land*, who knows, but little Johnny has a bur under his saddle, over wind towers.

I have to wonder, would these folks prefer a nuclear power plant in their neighborhood?? How about one of those nasty old coal fired plants?? Would that make these people happy ya suppose??

Wind power is one of the cleanest forms of electrical power generation today, hydroelectric is clean too but there’s no really big rivers in Erath county to dam up. Wind power is safe and clean, you can’t ask for more than that, and the *tree huggers* are always pissing and moaning about saving the environment. Well, this is it, and people complain about that too.

You can make some of the people happy some of the time, apparently this isn’t one of ‘em. Suck it up Johnny and Johnny, wind power is here to stay, and face it, if it wasn’t wind power, you’d likely find something else to be pissed off over.

In California the tree huggers protest the birds being killed, the birds that are so stupid that they fly into the moving blades. In Oregon it was a protest to stop a wind farm from going in because it would disrupt a prairie dog town. A prairie dog town for crying out loud!

I seriously don’t know what it takes to make the envionazis happy. Do you?
