    Wind Farms Rock!

    How many soldiers are dead because we have to protect the oil?

    And the chief complaint -- the main objection! -- to developing a new energy source that is reliable and cheap (and doesn't cause cancer by emitting toxins) is that it "might" obscure the view?

    Please tell that to the parents of a soldier killed in Iraq.

    "I'm sorry for your loss, but he died protecting my view of the coast."
