This isn't a thread on wind turbines, but this makes me want to comment.
They built some along Lake Erie a few years ago, and I checked them out,
and that means I got into the field and went right up to sample the foundation and upright.
No noise whatsoever. No static or magnetic fields, and I can feel the one in front of my TV.
They hardly ever are turning, just like the ones across the lake in Buffalo.
It still surprises me that one or two can be turning, slowly, when the others aren't.
And why they don't build smaller ones like the plastic-eared spinners we had as kids,
still seems bogus to me.
And around here they should put generators in the rivers, hydro and marine channels,
all having strong and non-stop currents.
Whoa! That's right! We've got too much power, and the new need is hydro storage facilities,
so that temporary green power can be used most efficiently.
They're trying a new technology, huge, spinning metal cylinders that act as temporary batteries.
Is Donald Trump trying to sue anyone Scottish about investing money in a golf, uh, complex?
When the risks get high and the propellers blow,
through the streets of Scotland Doonald Trump will go,
and all the investors, both high and low,
will say Doonald where's your trousers?
Oh, it was slippery in the hall,
as Doonald went to sponsor a ball,
and all the ladies said, ere he should fall,
Doonald, where's your trousers?
At last it all seemed ready to drive,
the ball on tee and the crowd alive,
'till a northern gust pushed forward his hair,
as Doonald drove far away offshore.
