Wolfie, delve into the actual costs and maintenance of these systems. One can not acquire knowledge of things thru only You Tube. Trapping, shooting, reloading, or energy systems, you only handicap yourself and show a shallow knowledge base when that is all you base your thoughts on. I have a nephew that is a “wheel” in the wind generation field. What he tells me after a couple drinks would spin your head. Fact!
I have and yes it's nuts the cost but that's not the point. The point is the idea in it's self .like I'm super against electric cars because they're just horrible for the environment but the idea of getting away from fossil fuels which are FINITE I think should be a common sense deal. Like yes we have plenty now Andy many we will for the next 400yrs idk but it's going to run out eventually. So why are we not interested in trying to make something better for future generations? Because I'm sorry I don't want my great great great great great great kids to still be sitting each other's throats for oil if we could find some other way.
Heck it seriously wouldn't surprise me if there was some invisible friggen energy floating around us 24/7 we know about and could harness to power stuff with next to no back lash but it's being suppressed . Trying not to look for better ways is just pure lunacy in my book. And people will say stuff like there is no better way or if there was wd be doing it so on and so forth but heck people have probably been saying that since the dawn of man. I can imagine the first caveman who said we was gonna harness from a lighting struck tree or something was probably getting told alot of the same or similar stuff. " You must feed fire ,fire could mess up meat we have always eaten raw meat fire just soming other tribe want us to mess with so we get hurt and weak"
Why would we not want to do better ? What is the point in just sting with what works because it works ? I mean if that's the case why arnt we still riding around on horses ? Or have tractors instead of hand picking crops ? It's doesn't and probably NEVER WILL make sense to me that when people did it in the past it was ok because their stuff works and now we use it but to follow in their foot steps and try and constantly push the envelope is a bad thing. I mean listen to the documentaries when it came to people who made oils a big energy source! All the coal and steam powered people where telling them the same stuff , cost of pipe lines , cost of drilling , cost of refining, " coal and animal fats have always worked we done need to change !" Well I'm pretty sure everyone here is happy they have a gas or diesel run truck and they don't have to shovel coal into a steam engine.
AND YES we're in a different time where all these big wigs mosce stuff the way the want to control and make money but still the idea of innovation and making a better future I don't think sh ?ould be frowned on simply because " we have something that already works"
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.
