As a guest blogger, I have taken this opportunity to provide
some of my insight on the state of alternative energy development in our
country. Recently, I have seen many alternative energy sources at work, or at
least attempting to work. As you may
know, our current president has attempted to implement new energy resource
plans to help “create jobs.” In a recent speech the same individual actually said that “We’ve doubled our use of
renewable energy.”
From the photo above, it is readily seen that this is in
fact not in the slightest of way true, at least for the systems which I have
encountered. The above windmills were
motionless, several dozens of such motionless windmills. You see, there is just
not enough wind, unless of course there are flocks of birds flapping their
wings to get them moving. I suppose this was not in the Nobel Prize winning
physicist’s plan who enacted them in out wonderful Department of Energy.
As we have gone through these many states, I have been able
to see innumerable instances of our tax dollars going to waste, windmills at
the top of hills barely moving, generating is any, just enough to power a
normal one hundred watt light bulb. Is this success? I think not.
