Nadin tells DUmmy to go hug a turbine

[GOBUCKS]

Wind turbines cause squeamish carcinoma. DUmmy Bennyboy recently discovered that can be cured by smoking huge quantities of pot. In the literature it's referred to as the "doobie cure".

She keeps this up and the only person who won't be on ignore is Nads.

Hopefully she takes her own advice and hugs a turbine.

That wouldn't change anything for two reasons:

first, she pays no attention to what the other DUmmies say.
secondly, when she puts DUmmies on ignore it doesn't stop her reading what they write.

Himmmmmm, going back to the late 50's the plant a tree in Israel seemed to work.   Somehow the trees brought in moisture, rain the desert had not seen in years.   

Wind mills that cause birds to die, better then causing the death of humans.

What ever we have to adapt or die, be we animals or humans.   Fine and well to depend on solar energy in the south where it is available year round.   In the North where we have 7 months of winter we need to adapt to windmills and tidal power.   

Mid west why on earth are the people not harnessing methane from the hog pens, the cow pens to at least supply for their own operation.

Comes down to big city's that have these sewage treatment centers,  can they not use human waste to create methane to power some of the city ??

Money, oh yes it takes money to implement all this.       I wonder what would have happend if the money to build telegraph poles and the system been shot down because of money.    Who financed the rail road system to span east to west, or who got it into their heads to expand the telephone system ?   

[Evil_Conservative]

Is she saying that a 25mph gust of wind will knock over a wind turbine?

 

That would explain why there are none of those things in Las Vegas.  A breezy day here is 25 mph.  haha

She's lost her fracking mind.

Uh, nads?  You want to know who owns and is building a lot of those wind farms?  The company I work for is one.  However, I'm not exactly on board with wind and solar for a couple of very good reasons: 1--the tax subsidies are far in excess of any other forms of power, 2--the availability of these forms compared to other "baseline" means of generation, to put it nicely, SUCKS.  Also, there's a long and growing list of folks who have put in turbines who are taking them out of service because of noise, etc., concerns as well as the fact they cost far more than initially promised.

Now finally, as to your question as to why utilities are against rooftop solar, perhaps you could explain the concept of "backfeeding" to me.  Or perhaps how several sources in parallel can in fact cause voltage and hence grid instability, etc...yeah, I'm guessing you're reading this and mouthing the words as you go along.  Nevermind.

Didn't some state pass a law requiring power companies to give credit for excess electricity backfed into the grid?

I believe that NYS allows for that.  I could be wrong.  I've wanted to find out.

Sparky, you post as if she cared about facts.

How's the expression go?  Those of you who think you know everything annoy the **** out of those of us who do?

I think N.C. has such a law but I was told there was just to much paper work to worry about it.....just hope to get a $0 bill for electricity.

I'm still trying to figure out how a home solar system can provide enough power for the house without a battery nearly as big as said house.

In shifts, of course...  The same way nad goes from place to place...

The San Diego Union Tribune (an actual paper that pays it's reporters), ran a story on this today http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/may/20/wind-turbine-mystery/.  If you scroll down the comments you'll see that moonbat Miriam Raftery, AKA DUmmie Liberty Belle, had to get in a plug for east county magazine.  I was hoping that she would comment on the screaming tree coyotes, but she failed to do so.
