The dumbest argument EVER by a right winger



"Solyndra showed us how great and profitable solar power is.  Wind has an ever bigger problem - the wind turbines are loud.  Even Al Gore wouldn't want a house next to a wind farm.  So finding enough places where people won't complain to put enough wind farms to make a difference is going to be next to impossible. 

They really are not practical long-term solutions.  We are much better off with nuclear."

and no one lives that has plenty of wind....Solyndra failed because they weren't competitive...meaning there are cheaper products available in that industry...that's growth, not failure...it's just that the growth is in China.


Besides I find Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh a relaxing sound.
