could you summarize? Blocked by firewall. :(
It's hard to summarize, but it's and Onion video making fun of CNN/Fox news coverage of hurricanes, with animations that show a central point (the center of a storm) with concentric circles moving outward towards land masses described as misshapen green blobs, and "expert" talking head analysis that doesn't explain anything. You'd have to be there.

If my memory lasts long enough....:lmao:...i'll try to check it out tonight. BTW, have you read about how wind farms are messing with doppler radar results and screwing up weather forecasts? (sorry, I cannot remember where I read that, but I'm sure anyone interested can google it.)

It was interesting to see a wind farm out the window on a flight form Tulsa to Denver. It had about 37 units. I wonder what the variation in size of these farms is. The output must not be too impressive - it is not like I saw a substation or transmission line leaving the facility.

FWIW:
To my knowledge, the primary complaint against wind farms seems to be one of aesthetics - the old NIMBY syndrome. When it comes to efficiency, electricity production, and "greenness," there doesn't seem to be much controversy.

Sometimes, the transmission lines on site are underground.

Here's news of a big project going up in the Pacific northwest
