We could turn Yellowstone park into a massive geothermal facility that
could power the whole country, but maybe we'd rather have a park. Tough
call (in all seriousness). Allegedly extracting energy from the volcano
could reduce the risk of eruption too.
Nuclear fission gets a lot of bad press for no good reason. We'd rather
burn coal and gas and release the radioactive isotypes from those fuels
I guess.

Some folks call them a visual blight. Personally I like watching
them. They are relaxing to watch.
But if we want clean power, nuclear, hydro and geothermal are still
the only games in town. Even solar panels have a toxic waste stream
and a less than zero carbon foot print.

Maybe the windmill blades should be vellum on a bamboo frame, and the
pole should be a wooden pylon buried in the dirt.

He was right about the birds. Doesn’t kill all of them but it is a
very large problem, especially for migratory water foul.
The anti windmill crowd says the amount of CO2 released by the
concrete, steel and petroleum that it takes to create a windmill will
never balance out in the amount of CO2 it saves from the atmosphere.
Could be true. His problem is that he hears fragments of factoids
and delivers them in a way that it sounds like he is making crap up
on the fly.
OK, sorry for breaking lent... we have been all pretty well behaved.

"I know more about wind than you do," Mr Trump replied, before going
on to say windmills are extremely expensive, “kill all the birds” and
“the fumes coming up, if you’re a believer in carbon emission … for
these massive windmills is more than anything we’re talking about
with natural gas which is very clean”.
Enough said.

This was amazing.
So after the fact I'm looking for punditry, switching between the
big 3 (tiny 2 CNN MSNBC and max fox) and it's what I expect from
each.
Where would I go if I want to watch some serious discussion?
Also I dont care who you are, joe is right on daca, and I wish
nancy and chuck hadn't brick walled trump on the same thing. It's
time we stop using daca humans and capital.
