From Don Surber:
Mountaintop Removal for Wind Power
Environmentalists make a big deal about surface mining in West Virginia, which they succeeded in re-casting as mountaintop removal.
In Vermont, the enviros are whacking off the tops of mountains to clear it for wind turbines.
Some environmentalists are complaining about Green Mountain Power and other Big Wind companies topping mountains.
Don then quotes someone from Energize Vermont who provides some interesting numbers about the proposed carbon avoidance (it's not that much - for the 20 year life of the wind farm, it's like two weeks of New York City vehicles).
Don closes with the following:
One nice thing, we finally got an enviro to admit that all this alternative energy nonsense barely amounts to a hill of beans.
And that hill is being flattened anyway.
EVIL.
Most definitely evil - nanny-statism at its absolute worst.
