Environmentalists Won't Even Allow Windmills

Posted by Dave Blount at April 16, 2008 9:08 AM

Not even "green" energy tomfoolery like windmills can be pursued without opposition from moonbats:

The tiny, endangered Indiana bat lives on Shaffer Mountain in northeastern Somerset County and that should be enough to keep 30 big wind turbines off that ecologically sensitive Appalachian ridge, according to three environmental groups.

On behalf of their fellow bats, environmentalists will sue under the insidious Endangered Species Act. Supposedly bats, who use sonar to detect tiny flying insects as they swoop around at night pigging out on them, won't notice the 404-foot turbines — raising the danger that the bats could fly right into them, further flattening their noses.

At least Ted Kennedy wouldn't be able to see the turbines from his mansion.

Obviously any attempt to conduct human activity will be forestalled by environmentalists with their nuisance suits. Since there will be endless court battles anyway, power companies may as well stop goofing around with inefficient windmills and fight for the expanded drilling, refineries, and nuclear plants we need to grow and thrive.
