Demonstrators gathered outside the Public Service Commission to protest against a requested rate structure change by the local utility company, Madison Gas and Electric (MG&E). During the protest, they decried the use of "dirty coal" and called for more renewable energy. To make their point, they had a blow-up coal power plant that was running on a fan powered by wind and solar charged batteries. Before the protest was over, however, the batteries died and their solar panel could not produce enough energy to keep the power plant standing upright.

How much protesting will they do when the heat/air/lights go off at home due to a lack of sun/wind powered electricity?

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

The same group that put this farce together must be the ones who perennially schedule ALGORE glowbull  warming speeches on the coldest snowiest days of the year.

I'm surprised they couldn't keep their little demonstration up.  After all, there was enough irony there to build a fleet of battleships with. :fuelfire:

How much protesting can one do after one has frozen to death in the dark?
