… that historians look back upon, to see how and why, either Delaware’s proposal for a Wind Farm went forward, or died a political death, much to the chagrin of 94% of Delaware’s population.The king, leading the fight to the Black Gates of Delmarva…..was Tommywonk. Between his hustling from radio station to radio station, he has still had time to refocus Delaware’s laser vision upon the Copeland-McDowell Alliance, intent on secretly derailing the Bluewater Wind proposal. Fortunately he broke the text of the “letter” as well as Kowalko’s response. He also published Copeland’s harsh admonition to Larson, the Controller General, to report back to Copeland’s cabal before he votes.

More GOP “leadership.” Knock me over with a feather.
So which one is Gollum?
Harris McDowell’s a Republican?
Thanks to Kavips for his metaphors, and his attention to detail. He’s the only blogger alive who can write longer posts on the subject than I.
Is a wind farm really a practical source of energy or is it merely trendy (although not to the NIMBY mindsets of some of our Sailboat Socialists) in the style of Ethanol-based fuel? The animals-are-people crowd can also talk about ‘condor grinders’ but the locals might speak of ‘tern trashers’.
Geothermal has its advantages and would provide a constant source of energy. Wind speed does vary a bit and storage of the energy produced therefrom does provide a bit of a problem.
Perhaps it is time to give the boot to the folks who thought of ‘China Syndrome’ as a documentary and get nuclear power on a fast track.
Yes, Arthur, wind is a viable source of energy. Delaware has a good bit of it off-shore.
As for nukes, I could be convinced if you can tell me where we put the spent rods and other radioactive waste.
Note to Arthur Downs:
It was one determined that in North Dakota alone, blew enough harnessable energy to supply the world’s current energy needs, 7 times over.
By spreading wind farms over a large geographical area, one spreads the risk of doldrums and evens out the fluctuations that occur in the natural state.
Speaking of fluctuations, due to the drought in the West this year, hydroelectric supply has been close to zero this summer, from Washington State to Arizona….. for the first time ever! The water must be saved for agriculture, and human consumption.
But we are unaffected because of the breadth of our energy supplies. We have so many that each by picking up a little manageable piece of the ‘slack’, continue carrying the load without interruption.
So were we to do the same with nuclear, with radioactive waste capable of killing a human in 6 minutes for the next 40,000 years, scattered across every county, we increase our cheap electricity, but at such a cost, such a cost…..40,000 is ten times longer than all the time thats passed since Abraham packed all his belongings and left Sumar.

We’ll trade you one Harris McDowell and one Thurman Adams, for one Tyler Nixon.
