I found this interesting article. Thought it would be of interest. Its a blog by some called sanityinjection... I think there might also be a parallel to the DEIS response by Dr P. Here goes:

There is an interesting PBS documentary that is currently showing. Its called Planet Forward. Discussion covers the various alternative energy strategies - including wind. Not surprisingly, the biggest impediment is the bananna attitudes. Not only with with but Solar farms too.

Effie, why is it that you limited people's ability to post responses to your postings?

Who's behind it?

Powerful corporate and financial interests

When you understand that wind energy does not work on a "utility-scale", the next questions are "Why are they doing it?" and ultimately "Who is behind it?"

Simply put, it's a corporate tax-avoidance scam, put in place by investment banking lobbyists, energy industry lobbyists, and the late Ken Lay and his Enron Wind subsidiary. Through manipulation in Congress and state legislatures, they have created a guaranteed high-return investment program, heavily subsidized by taxpayers and utility ratepayers, to benefit themselves at the expense of the public. They then market this scheme to the victimized public and gullible politicians as an environmentally-friendly "renewable energy" program, and have the "big" environmental groups that they support and sustain join in a chorus of approval.

A Scottish mycologist I've called on the UK Government to declare a moratorium on all land-based wind farm development until a newly identified, potentially devastating threat turbines pose to the environment has been properly examined - letter to the Prime Minister and supporting information below. This action has been reported in the UK media and the issue is attracting growing interest amongst academics, anti-wind farm lobby groups and others in the UK

Hello, everyone.

Our public utility company is using the back door to build wind turbines in New York. If you share my sentiments, please distribute this. Contact Mr. Laurito. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Laurito:

On June 27, 2007 you informed New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) customers that Energy East, parent company of NYSEG, announced that NYSEG would be acquired by IBERDROLA. This is a global energy company, which has headquarters in Spain.

Here is an article on how strong winds in the winter efficently offsets fossil fuel use. http://www.physorg.com/news9495.html

With a growing number of wind power stations in Germany, a new kind of legal case is rearing its ugly head. The crime: stealing wind.

It's an offense not mentioned in the bible or the statute books. But in a broader sense it is about theft, even when the booty itself is invisible. But it is still a major problem for the German legal system, including a court in Leipzig that is currently hearing a case involving a dispute between the operators of two wind turbine facilities. Who owns the wind?

The winds have shifted.

The Long Island Power Authority's proposal to build a grid of industrial-strength wind generators a few miles into the ocean off Jones Beach is adrift. It's too expensive, and it should remain at sea.

Despite the pressing need to find alternative and renewable sources of power, LIPA customers can't afford to pay the higher price of wind power from this project, which could be as much as three times the cost of current fossil-fuel generation. Long Islanders have some of the highest electric bills in the nation, along with stratospheric property taxes. That's why, at this time, prudence demands that LIPA avoid entering into so risky and expensive a venture.
