yeah. almost as dumbass an idea as having a dozen ways to spin a turbine, but picking out one that gets a government subsidy and trying to quash it over the course of 50 posts.

you and your hyperbole are getting a little out of control, kootch. i’ve told you a dozen times that we need various sources, so that we use less petroleum. and your reaction is the same every time:

“why for you not like oil^ wind is baaad!!!1!1!”

so to recap, here are the facts:

1. we get 5% of our power from wind turbines.

2. wind power is subsidized.

3. nuclear power is subsidized.

4. we call oil and natural gas subsidies “incentives” so as not to offend anyone.

5. solar is subsidized five times more heavily than wind, but limbaugh hasn’t told you to be angry about that yet. so you’re not.

fair assessment?
