What the hell does a bullshit, absolutely meaningless "carbon footprint analysis" have to do with practicality, efficiency, conservation, environmental protection, production, and positive promotion of human lives? That is just more depopulation agenda bullshit. For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1051099 Lol burying used wind turbines is still 1000 times cleaner than burying used nuclear fuel you dummy It's not a dichotomy, you dummy. Nuclear power and it's waste is needless as well. Clean hydro, coal, gas, all perfectly good alternatives, just not as profitable to TPTB. Hydro kills fish, Coal is never clean even if you are able to burn it cleanly it is very dirty to extract it from the ground, fracking gas causes earthquakes and pumps chemicals into the ground, etc. Nothing is clean. coal is cleaner than chemtrails, fracking does NOT cause earthquakes - WIND TURBINES do. look up the recent thread on this. coal is made by nature and it is nature's intention that it reenter the natural cycle nothing in nature is not used again Strip mining is not cleaner then chemtrails. Fracking can produce localized earthquakes and the chemicals they use are poisonous and the process can also leach poisons already in the ground into drinking water and aquifers. [link to earthworks.org (secure)] Does Fracking Cause Earthquakes? Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” (a drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into a well, cracking the rock and to release natural gas and oil) has only been known to rarely cause earthquakes. [link to www.chicagotribune.com (secure)] [link to www.iatp.org (secure)] [link to www.scientificamerican.com (secure)] Other than Nuclear I am not against most energy producing. They are a necessary evil but they all pollute. Nuclear sounds great but I do not trust the profitability of a company to do what is right. Profitability always overrules safety until some agency steps in. Which is unfortunate because I despise big government. Achduke |

Just saying "wind turbines cause waste therefore let's not use them" is not a valid analysis. It's great to be aware of the waste that is generated. We should look into it and optimize their implementation. But let's not lose sight of the overall benefit of clean energy initiatives. |

Quoting: beeches not a profit, these things generally don't - they do suck up taxpayer money like a sponge the size of the Antarctic Its funny every time i drive through a wind mill farm half of them are not turning and looks like most of them are broken ... As Oil or some lube or something is pouring out the moters... Then you have the killings of millions of birds and thousands of bats... And even if the wind is blowing hard ,like i said half of them are not spinning .. And i think its near 22 cents a kw ...While Coal last i looked is near 7 cents ... Big Differene...
