In the previous article, it was written that John McCain has had bouts with affliction that has rubbed off of real Dementiacrats. He had the notion to pick Tom Ridge, a pro-choice supporter, for VP. That would have been a sure fire way to ensure that conservatives would have abandoned him in droves. That is the type of madness that would ensure the election of the messiah.

It is amazing the breadth of the affliction. It seems to know no bounds and now the affliction has raised its head in the form of wind energy. T. Boone Pickens has an ad that says that we can build big windmills to produce ten percent of our energy needs in ten years.

Just imagine, huge blades whipping through the air that will be a “Boone” to our energy production. In reality, it will be a boon to Boone’s wallet. He has set aside twelve million dollars to help the project. Fact: an increase in crude oil production can lower the price in less than ten years with cost borne by the companies doing the work. Fact: nuclear and coal fired plants can be brought on line in less time for less money, and they won’t cover the thousands of acres needed for windmills and solar panels. When it comes to common sense, Dementiacrats don’t have any.

Republican and Democrat alike suffer the affliction. Michael Bloomberg, the Republicrat mayor of New York wanted to put windmills on bridges, skyscrapers and roof tops. He envisioned that the installations would provide ten percent of the city’s needs in ten years. Where do these wacky ideas originate? Pickens, Bloomberg, Obama the terminator make those in the institutions look sane. Don’t these nut jobs understand that they are trifling with the safety, security and economic health of the nation? 

Research is beginning to reveal that the wind turbines produce noise that is disturbing to man and beast. People in Oregon are complaining about the horrendous disruption to their lives due to the windmill noise. It is given that New York City is noisy day and night. The big blades would certainly up the noise level. Did Bloomberg think about the noise? Excuse me! Politicians don’t have to think beyond their own demented ideas. It is the remainder to us who have the strange notion that people ought to think beyond their own self interests. But the Bloombergs of the world hate thinkers since they tend to throw monkey wrenches in the grand dreams and great plans.

So we’ll throw some wrenches at the grand plans. Did Pickens have a tornado plan? Does he have a plan to deal with no wind? Did Bloomberg consider vibration on the bridges and roof tops, not to mention the noise? What about the cables needed to carry the electricity?

Later, Bloomberg threw the blade idea into reverse. Could it be that his hot air didn’t have enough wind to spin a propeller on stick? Hopefully, the bearings on Pickens’s idea will burn out too.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to build additional power plants that will supply 100% of the power as they have been doing for years? Such projects will create jobs for the construction, operation maintenance of the plants. Now we can’t have any of that, can we? Absolutely not, considering its just the same old stuff that has been done for years that’s entirely too sensible.

Dementiacrats never give up. Big ideas and big government are the solutions to everything. In the previous article, it was written that the dementia crowd couldn’t grasp low taxes. That’s true in that low taxes don’t allow them to grasp the taxpayer’s funds in the quantities they desire. Be assured that the windmills, solar panels and ethanol will allow more grasping of tax funds and will cost this nation in more ways than can be imagined at present.

In Sorting It Out, Dementiacrats need to be regarded for fools, of which they constantly remind us without ceasing.
