Wind farms are proof positive « Blowing Our Tax Dollars on Wind Farms

Wind farms are proof positive of one thing. The truly ignorant will buy into anything if properly promoted.

Go ahead, ask a promoter of wind farms or the govt. to provide you with real data. They either can’t or won’t, because if they did they would expose the scam. All they have to offer is empty rhetoric served up in small sound bites in the media. Just like a feel good ad from a fast food outlet.

Liberal politicians’ pious devotion to the science of global warming never translates into action, unless the costs of action can be safely transferred onto non-voters. And environmental groups are just as cowardly. I sure didn’t notice the Sierra Club or the NRDC protesting when presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called for a suspension of the federal gas tax last year.
