One of the clean alternative fuels the GW crowd is pushing isn’t living up to its billing? Honestly, I don’t know why I still get surprised.
Here’s the problem with wind: it’s *unreliable*.
It’s not always going to be windy where the wind farms are located. And in order to fix that problem you’d have to have wind farms pretty much everywhere.
I can’t believe there are still people pushing this.
As Christians, when we seek solutions to problems like these, we must have the good sense to abandon theorized solutions when it becomes clear that they aren’t feasible. To continue pumping time, money, and manpower into such solutions is a wasteful use of our resources.
