(17,863 posts)Windmills and solar are both distributed power producers. It would take a whole lot terrorist activity to take them off line than a pipeline. Granted you could take the lines out, but they would probably be easier to repair than a pipeline. Don't even begin to talk about how a single incident can take out a coal and especially a nuclear power plant.

(9,983 posts)The talk radio crowd have to be talked down from the windmills - Beck has them all chanting about the gearbox warmers and dead birds, claiming that they are all fake, don't make any real power, spoil my view of the toiling peasants, etc.

Now, a well-funded terrorist and a truckload of guns could perforate the fuck out of the refinery down the road, conveniently right next to a major highway, and take a few million gallons of gasoline off the market in under a minute. Maybe even get it to explode with tracer ammo.

Why are people laughing with him pretending to shoot windmills?
That was not laughing at him.
