Article claims Texas gets 23% of its energy from wind.

Ugly as shite. Driving I-35 in southern Oklahoma through some very scenic countryside, you're confronted with this:

all these sellouts make more putting up useless wind turbines than they do growing crops.

it's a green initiative alright, that's the color of money.

Now one destructive EF3 tornado in Texas in April doesn't affirm climate change, but...please remove your Trump-colored glasses and just look around you at today's weather across America:

1. Extremely heavy thunderstorms will ravage the upper Midwest, from Minnesota to Ohio. Forecast are hurricane-force derecho winds, large hail, tornadoes and blinding, flooding rainstorms.

2. Tennessee and Kentucky are being pounded by flooding rains and powerful winds knocking down trees and power lines

3. The Northeast now joins the Southern plains states in baking in triple-digit scorching temps.

4. Record wildfires are burning out of control not only across the West, but also atypical locations like Texas and Alaska, which has already lost over 4,000 SQUARE MILES of forested land this year to fire.

Now this doesn't even include the misery overseas, like the record European heat wave and the powerful destructive tornadoes in Eastern China. When putting all these events together, how can anyone not agree there's a climate emergency?

I thought that the data came out that wind turbines are a net loss. It takes more energy to build them and maintain them than you ever get from them.


Like solar, if you were in the middle of nowhere and disconnected from the grid, they make a certain sort of sense.

What we see now is just theft. Its people getting rich, at the publics expense, because of government mandates.

Because none of them are unprecedented even in the brief speck of time we have been recording such things.

Really?

West Texas is full of 2 things:

1. Thousands of wind turbines;

2. Thousands of lots with old oil pumps on them waiting to be scraped.

If global warming as projected in the computer models is real, milder weather is predicted by the actual scientists who study weather.

The models predict that almost all of the warming will take place toward the poles. Should the poles warm it will reduce the tension in all weather systems. This effect is confirmed both in recorded history and in geological history. Warm eras have fewer and milder storms. Cold eras create greater contrast between the tropics and the poles resulting in more violent storms. That's the way it works.


The truth is the weather you cite is nothing unusual. Your perception of it is due to your susceptibility to propaganda.
