If you ever drive (as I did a couple of years ago) across the panhandle of Texas, you will see vast wind turbine "farms" on both sides of I-40, going off into the distance north and south. It's an incredible display of inefficient, costly, and environmentally damaging "technology." They cost a LOT to manufacture, to transport, to erect, to maintain, and after they have outlived their questionable "usefulness" they are dismantled and put in landfills, because there is absolutely NO recycling these beasts.
No one talks about how many birds these things kill, including hawks and the American Eagle. I was informed at the visitor center that just one of those large "farms" could power a couple of thousand homes, and when I did some quick math and told them that this was grossly inefficient, they went silent and handed me a flyer on the subject.
All that land, in my humble opinion, could be much better used for agriculture and livestock.
So I have NO sympathy for Texas and their man-made energy shortages.
True, but maybe last year's failure to provide adequate power for winter and that hot summer, and the prospects of it happening again, will finally rouse Texans to revolt and start recalling the green poofters who saddled them with that lousy "technology." If civil recourse fails, there is always the late-night lynch mobs that were popular in Texas in the 1800s.
Yeah yeah yeah... it seems to me, that federal restrictions on Texas harvesting its most abundant resource besides toughness is more to blame for the windmills being forced onto our landscape by green agenda companies and more federal subsidies for putting them up. Pluck you and your plucking instrument. Oh and import some more coal for when your dams stop generating the energy you consume for your creature comforts.

In all fairness, Texans shouldn’t have to suffer cuz of the swamp creatures bent on destroying us.

Up vote for "green poofters." I'm not quite sure what it means but it sounds funny.
English term, look it up. Light in the loafers... nancy boys...and all that.
Ditto. 😂
Sorry to hear that, fren.
PDJT talks about the birds killed by wind turbines, a lot.
Also lots on I -10 Fort Stockton texas area— most are rarely moving because they can’t maintain the crap —stupid idea

Wow, touchy!
Your compassion deserved a fitting response
