Treehugger: windmills cause global “warming”

If you ever need evidence that the environMENTALists are more governed by their anti-capitalist mentality than a genuine concern for the environment, look no further than this nugget from Kansas:

Windmills have dotted the Kansas countryside for well over a century.  But now a bigger, more powerful breed is sprouting up.  Steve Trent is concerned.

“There’s going to be people who make a lot of money off this and the rest of us are going to suffer,” Trent says.

That’s the first thing out of the environut’s mouth: someone’s going to profit.  His foremost concern is that a buck will be made by someone other than his worthless backside.  Continuing:

Trent lives next to a 100 turbine wind farm in Butler County.  These things are touted as good for the environment because they create power without creating air pollution.  But Trent says they harm the planet in other ways.

“There’s an environmental footprint that they make,” Trent says.

He says that footprint has stomped out the native prairie chickens which have disappeared.  He says it’s also destroyed the area’s natural beauty.  Now he’s wondering if that’s just the tip of the iceberg. …

Oh. My. Gaia.  I really don’t know what I can possibly add to that steaming pile of bovine loaf.
