That example photo of the oil platform with a ‘radio tower’ on it is grossly under utilized, in regards to available locations for turbines…. why is that? I see only 4 turbines where the space available could support 3 times as many turbines along one side alone, and these towers have 4 sides. Maybe the towers that are used aren’t able to support the amount of turbines I proposed?

I think it’s a good idea. Tom – you can thank Congress & EPA + N.Polosie for that mess as that’s when the price rose from $2.65 to over $4.00+ in two years. The Presedent can’t do nothing unless congress approves – remember!!!!!!

We can’t drill offshore “they say”, but everyone else does. Oh yes — thats “OUR” shore. China is in the Gulf – just outside our limits making as big a mess as they want & the EPA can’t do nothing about it. But thats OK huh .

Why don’t they just move the well and drill for oil somewhere else.

And by the way, government funding of education is responsible for the mush-head environmentalists (socialists) that got us into this mess in the first place.

No it’s not better to do nothing. It’s better to do things that make sense instead of things that make the eco-nazis feel good.

Build nuclear and coal powered plants. Drill for the nearly trillion barrels of oil inside our own country instead of importing it from the middle east.

Build refineries in our country instead of in china and Mexico.

The eco-nuts are causing our country to commit economic suicide.

And the reason you can justify running power to hydro-electric and nuclear plants is because those plants produce massive amounts of power compared to windmills.

And the government shouldn’t subsidize anything. It stifles creativity and sends all the effort towards the money.

To suggest that the internet wouldn’t have evolved without the government is ludicrous. Look at the massive amount of products that have been produced without the government’s help.

Government screws up everything it touches. Let the market decide.
