Wind power (No I dont mean a hot curry)

Interesting that there is this claim that Turbines don't work in cold weather. My brother is a lineman in the UK and he was talking about this very thing last year when he visited me in Sweden. He decided to change his tune when we drove past a field of turbines happily generating power at -35C.  ALL of my electric is wind generated. Wind is a viable method of generating electricity but, along with other forms of clean/renewable energy, will never be allowed to mature whilst oil is still making trillions of dollars for the power elite. As for the bird killing aspect of wind turbines....."I laugh in your general direction..." I smile as I type this because I am looking out of my window and looking at my two cage type vehicles, A Prius sitting next to a Chevy K1500 Silverado stepside with a 350 motor. Lets see yas stick a label on me.

Oh yea! back to the original post, esthetically I think they are cool, not in the least an eyesore unlike a big stinking smokestack or a row of cooling towers.  Is wind the answer? Hell no!,
