Can't drill for oil, that's ICKY! Can't have wind turbines, those are ICKY too! Can't have nuclear power, because it's the ickiest of all! But it's perfectly ok for us to burn heaps and heaps and heaps of coal because eastern coal mines are all union, so somehow magically because they're union coal, which really is the filthiest fuel on the planet, is somehow "clean" ... YAY! WOOHOO! I realize this article doesn't say anything whatsoever about anything but wind turbines, but it illustrates the example well. Are we supposed to feel sorry for this assfuck? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaha go fuck a walrus you whiney dopey farmer boy. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

Saw the same thing and thought the same thing.
Kind of reminded me of the off-shore wind farms that were planned to be developed in Massachusetts, but the coastal residence vetoed it because of how it would disrupt their "view." Here is the video. --------------------  |

Here is the video. Same thing was done in Casper Wyoming where I'm from  I swear to god, the wind in Casper could power the entire fucking universe ... But, the turbines look "icky"

That's how the treehuggers operate... they want everyone else to change, not them.
