And so it begins, in earnest

Well this is refreshing. I am so tired of hearing opinions from people who really have no true idea of what is true and what isn’t.. they just parrot what ever propaganda they have been fed by what ever “news” source that is probably funded by pro oil corporations.

And it is hilarious to listen to commercial fisherman who are against wind farms because it destroys the bottom of the seabed as they strip mine the bottom with bottom trawls.

Anyone who doesn’t believe climate change isn’t real, is either living in a bubble somewhere or just plan ignoring what is happening globally. I don’t know enough about the economics of wind farms, but belonging to a solar farm and seeing how that has basically paid for our AC costs this summer I’m a big fan. We are getting to the point where it’s pay the price now to make changes or future generations are really going to be paying a hard price to slow climate change if it even can be at some tipping point. Insurance companies are getting hammered in these weather related catastrophic events and higher premiums to cover those costs are being passed on to all of us.
