The whole thing is a myth.

It wouldn't and couldn't exist without huge subsidies.

Windmills and passenger rail are relics for a reason. There are better, cheaper ways to do the same job.

But, when you are follow the religion of extreme enviromentalism, you can't help yourself.

Sorry.

I wish you'd just admit you are part of a cult and let us rescue you.

If we let you have your way, we'd power everything with hamsters.

Actually, today's wind turbines and train engines are high-tech and save large amounts of energy, or provide clean power - - all beneficial.

and now jobs in Milwaukee, too . . . and an increased tax base . . . and re-use of abandoned factories, brownfields, and empty spaces in the city . . .
the benefits are multiple.
