Bit of a hostile reception too. V strange. Maybe wind power projects have to come from JaP before they're accepted on dkos.

I was really short on details, so maybe that's part of it.

But the kneejerk anti-wind sentiment always strikes me.

What's really disappointing is the total disbelief that a major expansion of wind power could drive electric prices down.

mission accomplished!

down with bird-blenders, they make us dependent on dirty foreign wind! (and solar electric doesn't work)

no, virginia, the public is much too intelligent and aware to allow propaganda to affect its judgment.

alt energy brings down the price of energy to the public, which is proof of its satanic socialist intentions.

the barble said 'trust in authority', and i trust our corporate overlords to always do the right thing for us. after all, they love and care for us womb to tomb, how could they ever betray our trust in their entirely benign contributions to making our lives so privileged and comfortable?

they are rational actors, after all. if they say coal/nukes are they way forward, ours not to reason why.

better living through brain chemistry, read-ya mead-ya daily, don't let those stalinist hitler commie fascist libruls tell you how to live. death camps are next!

our asthma/cancer rates are the envy of the world, we are free! choke and gag, but wave that flag! think of the baby birds!

e.g. I'm a prick, you're a prick, and that's ok.
