Yeah, right after you spineless tools look into giving young people something besides a lifetime of part-time drudgery to look forward to, thanks to Democrat policies. I think I can hear the Democrats snickering already.

IMO, Congressional Dems and Repubs couldn’t care less about you kids, despite all their sales pitches. They should all be fired with cause by voters every election and should earn less than the minimum wage.

On their planet, these 40-story tall behemoths are “good”. But they are all bitterly opposed to a proposed project to bring dirt-cheap hydro electricity from Quebec down to New Hampshire-because the towers will be 1/4 as tall as their pet wind towers.

They are all whining “Bury the transmission lines from Quebec!”, but are totally ignorant to how much that would cost. At the same time, they have absolutely no problem with the transmission lines from their windmills being above ground, twice as high above the ground as the existing ones.

Genetic.

Interesting. When EXISTING Hydro becomes the enemy, you know someone has gone over the edge.
They are just afraid of the how bad the lower cost energy will make their windmills look. Can’t have any competition.

Damn Del, you beat me to it.

Some factoids I left out:

1. The folks in central NH get to look at those 40 story wind towers, but they get absolutely none of the electricity. It all goes to Teddy Kennedy’s state.

2. The project was built in a poor town that does not even have Zoning. They rammed it right through by promising the town fathers that the wind farm would pay the entire town budget for a whole year, each and every year. The town has yet to see any of that money.

3. The residents of the town where the Peregrine Falcon nesting site is located bitterly opposed the project, but the Democrat Activist Justices at the NH Supreme Court would not even grant them a hearing. They now get to enjoy the sight of 24 40-story towers looming directly above their heads, but nothing more.

Damn Del, you beat me to it.

… Government will always grow and spending will continue until it collapses and freedom and liberty will be extinguished.

Paradise is just around the corner…

This is the one single time I agree with Ted Kennedy, who didn’t want a wind farm off of Martha’s Vineyard because, frankly, they’re ugly. We’ve got them all along I-65 between Indianapolis and Chicago. Talk about ruining the appearance of the Great Plains. Is it worth it? I mean, even if it was worth it. Which it clearly is not.

Here in New Hampshire the Leftist hypocrisy on energy is unbelievable.

They all have happily supported a new wind farm that went on line last month; this has 24 towers along mountain ridgetops less than a mile from not only the White Mountain National Forest, but also less than a mile from one of the only Peregrine Falcon nesting sites in the entire state.

Each of these wind towers is 40 stories tall (400 feet), and the lines feeding the “power” they generate into the power grid are strung on towers that are twice as tall as the existing power line poles.

On their planet, these 40-story tall behemoths are “good”. But they are all bitterly opposed to a proposed project to bring dirt-cheap hydro electricity from Quebec down to New Hampshire-because the towers will be 1/4 as tall as their pet wind towers.
