once people realize that the whole green energy thing as it exists today is a scam we will be better off. But, alas.....

what we have now for green energy would be like parading around a plane that did not fly.....while saying 'look at me fly'.......like a man dressing as a woman saying 'look I am a woman'. stupidity supported by ignorance.


put that effort into making something that works instead of wasting many tens of billions on bs that does not work while abandoning things we need.

Volcanic activities affects climate more than man could ever come close to. Ever. Man trying to influence climate with green energy is like spending trillions of dollars on nerf bullets to control coyotes.

good ideas sell themselves. green energy it paid for by all of us and would never sell itself because it is impractical. supporting the widespread use of technology that is so impractical no one would pay for it is lunacy.

once planes were able to actually fly and were safe they were used all over the world. before they could fly no one used them.

supporting the widespread use of a plane that does not fly because one day it will fly is lunacy.

research is great as danny already said. govt paying trillions for tech that does not work is lunacy. and to top that they are also abandoning the things that work....

if your wanting to save energy then disconnect from the grid and use only green energy for EVERYTHING.

that is not possible at this point because that plane does not fly yet...but the government is closing in on forcing us to do just that and if you support that...it is a very dangerous thing.

that is as simple as I can say it..

I'm all for hydro generating which was used for years but mostly abandoned. Why? Not enough profit for the powers to be. I also think solar makes sense for the individual home user but not commercially.


Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I can agree with much of what your point is, or you're trying to get across.
The problem is that politicians have destroyed the best way to go about it.
Hydroelectric dams have been used for hundreds of years.
Why are they being decommissioned ?
Many hydro dams are removed every year , because of twisted politics .
Weather you want to believe it or not , animal rights groups are behind it more than you realize.
Stop and think about it , shutting down our oil and coal production isn't the smartest thing to do.
We still need them to build the things you're talking about.
I agree those wind generators along a highway like in your OP , are feasible , but we need to have the power/electricity to produce them.
It's an idea that needs more research , and yes it could work.
But to go about it the way politicians have gone about the " GREEN NEW DEAL " is stupid !
It at this point is just a scam by the greedy politicians .
More tax money is all they care about.
Getting back to the animal rights movement, think about it , more laws against hunting, trapping, fishing , and just about anything to do with raising meat animals.
Why? Because it generates more taxes or permit fees for the government.
We all pay for the ignorance of the animal rights organizations , weather we want to or not!
Higher food prices , and higher taxes .
Wake up to just what the WOKE are doing to the world.

WOW Killed another thread.
80 Years ago we fought and died for our rights, and others rights.
Now we're so soft we don't care any more.
Don't any of you realize the emotion game being played on you?
BOCO posted a thread , you all should check it out.
I hope it opens your eyes to just what's going on today.
BOCO best thread you ever posted.
Still think you're a liberal ( modern day liberal , not the real liberal of the past ) , and can't agree with you on so many points.
But at least you're trying to learn about governments and politics .
As a trapper you amaze me , and would love to spend time on the line with you.
As a what seems to me a follower , not so much.

Another great example of political power interfering with people’s lives is the current idea that we must ban or basically eliminate gas and wood fired furnaces. I don’t know how big of an area the Canadian forest fires smoke plume covers, but I know for the better part of 2 weeks you could look directly at the sun nearly all day and hardly squint. Just a hunch, but I would bet that all the wood furnaces smoke expulsions combined for the past 50-100 years would not even come close to what happens naturally every single year in North American forest fires alone. The sooner one realizes that the politicians only care about their pockets being lined the better off we will all be. They don’t know crap about our planet, and listen only to those who have an agenda to push and money to steal from our coffers to grease the political pundits with.

Now we have some thinking about the real problems !
While those turbines could work along a busy highway, you still need the fossil fuels to build them.
Making life harder for the people to live , isn't the goal of a real caring government.
Yet this government is giving hand outs to those that have no idea about how to live in the first place.
Then taking away the simplest ways of staying warm during the winter.
Taking away the easiest way to cook meals, and to make life easier by, putting up the summers harvest.
It's almost impossible to grow your own food in too many areas.
Yet this green new deal is doing away with everything needed today.
They don't care if people do without, as long as they control every aspect of the peoples lives.
Look at what has happened in the last 3 years.
Now go to the videos that BOCO's post is talking about.
Too many have no idea what happened 80 years ago.
To me it's happening now !

A bad idea ... a shopping center installed 7 vertical turbines to power their atrium. In two years, the bearings were shot. After repairs and maintenance for 5 years they gave up on them, it was costing them more than they were saving.

Put those things down the center of the road as lane dividers? Has anyone seen what happens to barrels and those posts they put out when a commercial truck goes past them? Imagine getting hit with a wind turbine when it comes loose from the roadway!

The ONLY reason there are wind generation farms is because of govt subsidies ( our tax $ ). They lose more money than they gain. Otherwise, we would all be owning one already. They have been messing around for decades now with them here and it’s still the same ol same ol. The tax funded companies hang around long enough to get them out in the ground the poof, they disappear once the maintenance kicks in. It’s all a sham.

IF it is creating electricity then why does it need solar panels on top???

BINGO!!!! Just look at KKKalifornia. They are forcing Green energy and because of it they have constant Brown and Black outs and now Hair Sniffer wants that for EVERYONE!!!
