JPF Home Page Forums Stop The Bailout

Andrew,

I don't disagree with anything you're saying. The folks that are supporting Wind and Solar are the ones who explained the limits we currently have. I'm looking at buying a small piece of property somewhere in Southern Indiana (25-50 acres) and building a small cabin and using a windmill to power it. So we're on the same side here. If you go back and read my radical solution to our energy crises, you'll see that I support ALL the various technologies, except Corn based Ethanol which is a total scam and waste of food that could be feeding us and the rest of the world. In fact, I think the entire industry developing around it is a total sham and borderline criminal. It's inefficient, you get less miles to the gallon using it, it causes a lot more polution (people with Asthma are especially affected by the use of Corn Ethanol) and its impact on food prices is part of our economic disaster right now. It should be STOPPED right now.

I find it kind of interesting that "global warming" has now been changed to "Climate change" and there's barely been a peep about it during this election. There's now a growing movement by thousands of scientists who are saying it's all a scam. Remember, decades ago there was a similar threat for a coming Ice Age. People can't accurately predict the weather for a 24 hour period.. and they aren't too good at predicting centuries in the future either. The earth is in a warming trend, and Mars, which has no humans, has been warming up just like Earth has. It's the sun.. not us. But that's a whole new discussion.

If Solar Panels were more cost effective, I'd use those too. But I think a big giant windmill is cool and that's what I will go for when we have the money and property.
