It's NOT coincidence that AGW deniers & rich people clack the same way.
Please quote the specific AGW deniers who said wind would never produce 1% of need, or we can safely chalk this up as another litesong strawman lie.

Second, it's simple for there to be examples of something working well in a particular market, yet being totally inappropriate in another. Snohomish County Public Utility isn't representative of the global market. They didn't accomplish a largely renewable energy supply by sheer grit and determination of progressive ideals, but happened to be located where those resources are at hand.

Finally, if your income is above $18k per year, you can count yourself among those rich clackers. It's above the global average. Based on what you've shared, I expect you're either drowning in self-loathing or in cognitive dissonance.
