Niagra falls gets turned off and on for the tourists. Perhaps they could do
Yellowstone the same way.

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.

Shes the best moderator I've seen in my time watching debates. 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.
