    Default A little bit of irony regarding "clean energy"

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Not that ironic at all. Most "environmentalist" do not like wind turbines because of this reason.

    Think about this: The big Vestas turbines have a blade diameter of 126 meters (391 feet in 'merican) and turn about 23 rpm at max speed. Doing the math, that means the blade tip speed is around 500 feet per second, or just a tick over 340 mph. Now wonder the birds are getting splattered...
