A Fantastic Story on Noisy, Idiotic Wind Turbines
Turbines.
I love this. You know, all these people, all of you gullible, you
big-hearted, lovable but gullible people who, because you think you
really care and you really have caused a problem with your life so you
buy into this green technology garbage, you buy into all of this
climate change stuff, alternative energy sources, like windmills. Have
you ever wondered why the liberals do not want windmills where they
live? Ted Kennedy didn't want them anywhere near his compound out
there in Hyannis Port. I have a story here from the Portland Press
Herald in Maine: "Turbines Turn into Headache for Vinalhaven -- Noise
complaints energize opponents of wind power and complicate Maine's
renewable energy efforts." You won't find a bigger collection of
well-intentioned, big-hearted liberals than in Maine.
"Cheryl
Lindgren was excited when the three wind turbines down the road began
turning in November, but within days her excitement turned to
disbelief. The sound at her house, a half-mile or so away, wasn't what
she had expected. As she sat reading in her quiet living room, she
could detect a repetitive 'whump, whump' coming from outside. 'I can
feel this sound,' she recalled thinking. 'It's going right through me.
I thought, "Is this what's it's going to be like for the rest of my
life?"'" Hey, Cheryl, makes that coal power sound pretty good now,
right? "Dedicated two months ago with great fanfare, the Fox Islands
Wind Project is producing plenty of power, but also, a sense of shock
among some neighbors." I really question how much power these things
produce. "They say the noise, which varies with wind speed and
direction, ranges from mildly annoying to so intrusive that it disturbs
their sleep. And they say they lament losing the subtle silence they
cherish living in the middle of Penobscot Bay -- the muffled crash of
surf on the ledges and the whisper of falling snow." Poor people.
It's what happens with alternative energy. Such a scam. It's all such
a scam.
