Power windmills : the chosen tool of the Nazis.
New York is approaching the point where they will no longer have enough power to meet the demand, to the governer is planning to put up wind farms to supplement their power needs. This is an applaudable attitude - clean, limitless power - more governers should take this stance. The problem in NY is that people are apparently morons. They've been hold anti-turbine rallies and meetings where they discuss windmills' potential dangers and drawbacks. They complain about the potential effect on their property values and the aesthetic impact on the area's scenic countryside. In other words, NIMBYs. They want more power but they don't want power windmills. But the most incredible thing is some of the arguments they use to claim that power windmills are dangerous. I kid you not:
- the sound of the spinning blades and whirring machinery (which most people find inaudible from fairly close distances) sounds too much like the noises Nazi troops tortured Jews with during the holocaust.
- power windmills cause people to have strokes brought on by the sunlight as it pulsates through the spinning turbine blades
- the EM field from the generator causes mange in cattle
- women living near the wind farms are having as many as five menstrual cycles a month
The list goes on and on. All this shows is what an uneducated bunch of morons these people are. If I was George Pataki, I'd say "suck it" to this lot, and put the power windmills in. If these fuckwits don't like it, they can move and take their ineducated lunacy elsewhere. Hell - these complaints are generating so much hot air, there ought to be a method of putting these people in a sealed room and generating power that instead. The more they complain, the more power for New York.
This is hauntingly similar to some of the reasons one of B*sh's "experts" gave him to argue the case against power windmills and for oil. The most amusing of which was that the windmills disturb local wind patterns which in turn disturb global weather.
Windmills must clearly be dangerous then. If only there was another country that could test windmill technology. A country that used them for power, grain, water pumping. Like - ooh - I don't know - the Netherlands?
Wake up and smell the oil-polluted air, America. Your president is a dumbass, but you don't need to be. Windmills are a clean, free source of infintely renewable non-polluting power. Fuck - if I could get a personal power wind generator through the planning process in city hall, I'd have one in my back yard.
