Wind generators are good at killing birds en masse and causing noise pollution
also.  They're also unprofitable which is why Siemens got out of the wind
generator business.

Yes, let's protest one of our main sources of electricity.  That's akin to
saying electric cars are "clean" when they're just as "dirty" as internal
combustion-powered cars when you figure in the electric generation system into
their overall effectiveness.  It's six on one hand, half-dozen on the other.

Solar cells aren't much cleaner either but at least they're not killing birds
and making noise pollution.

Later,
