The general population said the same things about the Wright brothers and Tesla. The government needs to stay out of the way and let business do the research and development. The public will let the winners surface and survive while the losers sink and feed the scavengers.
There are times when this forum resembles a flock of chickens. One spec of blood and they rest single out the injured one and keep after them until it is pecked to death then move on to the next.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Good post. You are spot on about some of the old hens on here. No clue about much but they love to cluck the same posts over and over.

Y'all ever stood next to a busy highway? Felt that heavy wind coming from passing cars and trucks ? What makes that any different then natural wind ? It's still a force that can turn that turbine and create electricity. I mean...it's a pretty simple concept. And in places with almost const moving traffic I mean what would be the problem ? Could use them to power small stuff like idk cross walk lights or something But lemme guess this is just more woke lunacy or something right ?  IF it is creating electricity then why does it need solar panels on top??? Why not double dip if you have a generator already set up at that location?? Do you always just make one set of one type at each location you set up traps. Geeze.. Mac

Any of yall remember the meme that was a picture of surge protector / power strip plugged into itself? The caption said "Bernie Samders plan for free electricity"

You were making sense right up until you appled up the oranges. Wind farms and solar panels are not free enterprise driven. The folks who are pecking at the hind end of the bloody chicken can see that, and are calling it out for what it is. Who is picking the winners and letting the losers fail in the scenario of government subsidised "green" energy?

Natural wind generators are lunacy too. It only makes sense to the politicians that own the production companies and receive the grants. Absolutely not true. It makes sense to the people that own the companies that build them too  One of my clients builds wind farms all over NA. and he says they are a joke.

I have been using wind power to save gas on long trips since I started driving.
Just get right up on the bumper of a big truck,once you are in the slipstream you can feel it-it will drag you right along and if you stay there for a couple hunderd miles you will save a ton of fuel.
You gotta be dialed in behind the wheel though and not be inattentive.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The government has been picking electricity as a winner for a loooooong time. At least back to the REA. Welfare for rural people.

Boco I am confident you are not that reckless. People do try it though. I just slow down till they pass. Have at times literally came to a stop to get someone to go around.
