What did we tell you about shooting the turbines, cap ...

It's not going to bring oil prices back up.

Chances are that one of the locals was taking a page from Jed Clampett and reverting back to the old methods of oil exploration.


My first guess would be the home owner next door who was sick and tired of hearing the constant whizzing of the turban every night as he tried to sleep.

That's the most likely scenario

The things are environmental blights. Visual and aural pollution of the worst sort. On top of being an utterly inefficient and expensive source of energy, a waste or resources.

High capacity thermal power generation.. by way of fossil fuels or nuclear sources will be the cleanest, cheapest and most environmentally responsible way of producing energy for the next 50 years. The only possible replacement would be Fusion Power, which is decades away from feasibility.

I know, right? Whatever happened to the pure, natural beauty of a coal-fired plant, smokestacks puffing away?
