It is producing nothing. There is a big, fugly wind turbine a few miles from me that has been sitting still every day I go by it. Why? A high pressure system cooking the whole area. Just when we need electricity, wind isn't producing any. Running on empty, indeed. How about, never producing nothing, not ever, never will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-77343700783161334202011-08-06T13:54:35.422-04:002011-08-06T13:54:35.422-04:00Funny, "Running on Empty" is so appropri...Funny, "Running on Empty" is so appropriately the nuclear industry theme song these days...gunterhttp://www.beyondnuclear.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-70504014688402014732011-08-04T17:53:58.436-04:002011-08-04T17:53:58.436-04:00Google "Musical celebrities supporting nuclea...Google "Musical celebrities supporting nuclear power." <br /><br />Whoddya get?gunterhttp://www.beyondnuclear.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-24611174902529232742011-08-04T15:45:21.721-04:002011-08-04T15:45:21.721-04:00If I were still living in the Bay Area, I would pr...If I were still living in the Bay Area, I would probably be at the concert carrying a sign reading something like "Fukushima Nuclear Plants Save 5000 Lives". I am not sure of the exact number (it is about what I stated). There certainly were thousands of deaths avoided by building the nuclear plants instead of building coal-fired power plants, which were the only alternative.donbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-83765582932757601472011-08-04T13:30:46.811-04:002011-08-04T13:30:46.811-04:00"Expecting rational energy policy from MUSE i...<i>"Expecting rational energy policy from MUSE is like looking to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for the next Billboard hit."</i><br /><br />Or like looking to Jackson Brown for the next Billboard hit, for that matter.
