Amen sister C O!

CO- Most wouldn’t guess this but we have Rock Port in Missouri that was the first town in the nation to completely convert to wind power.

CO - Have you heard of T. Boone Pickens and his plan that could have us converted to wind and solar power in 10 years? He’s a retired Oil man too. Check out his website: http://www.pickensplan.com/

Much of the country did run on wind power until the middle-50s, early 60s, when windmills were torn down. Much like the train service we used to have before the oil boys and the car boys bullied us into destroying the trains as well.

A a 100 sq mi. solar farm in any desert could produce all of the electric supply for the US. This stuff CAN be done. And I’m sure as heck that anyone facing the option of a Nuclear plant anywhere near them would be thrilled to have a wind farm instead! As far as the SUVs and Hummers, etc. Americans are spoiled, vain babies. I remember after the gas shortages in the 70s everyone was talking about how GM missed the boat by continuing to produce huge cars so the Japanese cornered the market with their smaller cars because people were downsizing due to the oil crisis. Then the 80s rolls along, everyone’s forgotten that we STILL have an oil crisis, they start buying bigger cars to the point now we have idiots driving around in SUVs with “Save The Troops” magnets on the back and even bigger idiots driving Hummers! And they’re perfectly fine with doing so, even though we know our oil consumption is causing us to wage wars in the Middle East… People were just thrilled to show the world how wealthy they were they could afford the huge vehicles AND the gas, who cares about the environment or the political ramifications. Now here we are just as we were in the 70s… with an American auto industry that is caught with it’s pants down. Also, it didn’t help things when Bush took away the tax credit for Hybrids, yet extended the tax credit for Hummers. THAT is our oil policy when we have oil men in charge!
