For those environmentalists who tout windmills as an alternative source of energy, our flying friends might have a different view: http://bit.ly/birdblender http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRqu4WiLQfk I am amazed at how so many celebrities keep calling for alternative 'renewable' resources, yet few of them are willing to start up a windmill farm themselves. One doesn't even have to be a farmer or own one; all one has to do is approach a farmer and offer to sponsor the costs of refurbishing their farm with windmills. It's like the old bromide we keep hearing: "The reason why we do not have solar energy is because Exxon does not own the sun". Put two and two together; The reason why Exxon does not own the sun is because, apart from tall buildings (which comprize a minute segment of the Earth's inhabitable surface) and tall trees (which, last time I checked, are part of the enviornment), there is nothing standing in the way of a houseowner supplimenting his/her electricity with solar panels. So then, why aren't these rich celebrities going into the business of marketing solar panels? Sad truth is, there is nothing Mankind can do to increase the velocity of the Earth's wind, or the strength of sunlight on the Earth's surface. Even the much touted electric car raises the question: What will be the source of electricity that supplies the vehicle with juice? Coal-fired hydro plants? Natural Gas? Nuclear power?
