Great. North Dakotans can drive forever. Not sure how that helps people in other areas of the country – electricity doesn’t travel that well. Besides that, the embedded oil in producing a wind farm, getting the materials required, when we have next to no gas left (because we’re still not really acknowledging peak oil or climate change) are questions that seem to be ignored by the above. Like it or not, there is no way around Thermodynamics and entropy. The only solution is to remember that we are but one species on the earth and we belong to it – not the other way around.
Cheers Andy.
