Nothing green is serious until we commit to and build nuclear power plants. Each should have a 2000 acre lake stocked with baby bass.

Personally I wish I had 1000 acres with fracking below ground, cows living on the ground and a wind farm above ground. Top it off with a cell tower. I could keep my social distancing fishing the stock tank.

The view from my back porch, they are about 7 miles away. A few years ago I and two other land owners had the wind farm people bugging us once a week to sign contracts for them. After consulting with a few of them in the County that already had them, we declined. They ended up putting them on the hills across the valley from us four years later.

Hell yes. Tack on getting the government to pay me not to grow corn while I’m at it.

This is not true in any sense of the word "green". If this state wanted to be green" we would use NG and nuclear, mostly nuclear. We are not using those as we should.

You might not have researched this but these "green" windmills are a net carbon increase, not even close to saving any carbon emissions. Besides that, when these monstrosities get to their service life, they have to be taken down, cut up and buried in a massive landfill.


Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's an EMP!
