Heard this on the Communist Broadcasting Corporation news this morning. It will remove 25% of the electrical generating capacity from the country.

My laughable moment is they expect to replace that loss of energy through the use of "renewables." Yeah right.

We ain't there yet folks .... at least not in any form that makes economic sense.

A few days ago, I heard of another radio interview where next year, one town is going to put in a windmill for a capital cost of 2 million dollars. It is anticipated to generate approximately $10,000 of electricity annually for the town.

You do the math.

I sure hope those terrorists don't go around smashing their solar panels in North Africa.

Wasn't really considering it in the first place, but thanks for the thought to chew on.

True, but if anybody can make it happen, my money's on the Germans.

Germans don't worry about such things, they always can fall back to plan B: Go take it from France.
