And their share of detractors. Wind is no different than any other. But it is a renewable energy source and aside from the manufacture of the turbine creates no green house gas emissions. For those reasons alone it is worthwhile to pursue.Michael A.

And if you don´t get confused with the zeros, you will get my point.<BR/>The resources now poured into futile, but very ingenious and high-tech windmills, could be far better used for, for example:<BR/>1) Burning coal in a cleaner way,<BR/>2) Efficiency of energy use in the broadest sense of the word<BR/>3) Promoting a drastic change of life style (There are about 6.5 billion people, who all have the right to have some energy to their disposal).<BR/>Just 3 ideas.<BR/>AlexanderAlexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428629159052993838noreply@blogger.com
