"Birds fly right into those suckers!"

*chchchchchch*

Between that and "THE WIND KEEPS STOPPING. I BLAME REPUBLICANS.", I just met my day's quota for laughter!

I am SO sharing this with my grandfather!

Well, as a famous frog once said, it ain't easy being green. It is, however, easy to waste taxpayer money on green boondoggles as long as you're a democrat politician. You know, like the communist currently occupying the white house.

Of course, the world will never go GREEN because the EVIL JEW MONEY ILLUMINATI ZIONIST ELITE have made a machine called the HAARP Thingy Gadget which makes Earthquakes and Hurricanes and Heat Waves and Cold Spells and causes GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.

I haven't seen it, but it's there. And gets hot 'cos the EVIL ELITE make it too hot. And it gets cold 'cos the EVIL ELITE make it too cold.

And that's why we have to give up all our money and freedoms to a World Controller and stop having babies.

No no NO! The parts for the windmills will be made by magical GREEN elves in their special Earth-friendly workshops. Then, the GREEN pixie-fairies will magically FLY them to the locations where Zephyrus or Boreas will steadily blow for us after they've had a quick chat to Gaia, The Earth Goddess - all of whom will like we Humans now 'cos we've decided to love the Earth by going Green.

There.

See how easy that was!?

im all for going green.. personally i feel we should use the roof on the buildings to collect solar energy... + there should be a competitor to oil... algae fuel (cleans the water and air when its growing).. the thing is i believe a we should not subsidize any thing i listed or any thing period for that matter... let the people choose weather or not to purchase alternatives and possibly save them selfs some money... by no means should these alternative be forced upon people peace...

@colddrake80 Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.

I would like to see Klavan do something that is more mature than knocking down a strawman, quote mining and outright misrepresenting the other side. I've watched enough of his "stuff" to know better.

I like how government employees all have empty eyes!

@cogit8able You're either ignorant, or just in denial. Google "Alberta tar sands water pollution" and do your homework. Apparently you have a lot to learn about energy production.

[cogit8able]

@drysift Not much forest land in Texas or Alaska.. Frankly most of the places they drill for oil are by definition deserts i.e. Saudi Arabia Kuwait, Libya. Now corn production, well most of the fields were once forest land and animal habitat. I see plenty of hunting shows in Texas., There they are sitting in their animal blinds watching herds of game meander back and forth through tons of mesquite and sage brush with a whole lot of oil rigs standing around. that oil production must be real bad

They painted Obama white. Racism!!!
