with the wind farms, does the local governments or state government get any money per kilowatt of energy produced? For gas and oil production the local and state government collect a fee.. Visualize yourself living next to a 500 wind generator farm. I think they are beautiful. (I do wish they would come in different colours), but why shouldn't the local government not collect a small tax on the energy produced, just like they do in oil and gas. That would encourage more production of energy sources in those states.
The other issue is how many people want all those new power transmission lines run thru their area to provide energy for someone 300 miles away?
When will the environmental groups "encourage" Senators Kennedy and Kerry to support the wind farm of the coast of Massachusetts?
I live in Idaho I look forward to the development of the Geothermal power that would be available 24/7. Idaho is suppose to have 250+ areas that could be developed that way..
While I do not enjoy rising fuel prices, I realize they helped speed-up our need to invest in altenative energy sources.
I'm certain there is a specialty-niche of readers who care about the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels. For me, not so much.
But, if you'd like to garner even more support for alternative energy, just repackage and remarket this article to a larger and more easily motivated audience - those of us that want to disassociate ourselves with Arab Muslims (and for good measure the Persians, Venezuelans and Mexicans).
Do that and you'll have us Rednecks become "Greennecks" by recycling our junk cars into windmills and solar panels.
